PSA Academies Omdömen 

A good rugby camp for enthousiastic rugbyers. Their skills are evaluated and they get good advice on how to improve. They also received relevant information on nutrition and concussion. The camp would be 5 star if the nutrition advice was rolled out into the food served in the canteen.

An extremely well organized and engaging camp for the week. My son thoroughly enjoyed the Kilkenny camp. Learned so much - not just about skills, like passing technique, tackling and kicking but also about nutrition and growth mindset. "The best rugby camp I've been to" according to my son.
Can't recommend it enough - will be back next year.

Our 11year old enjoyed the camp so much at Wilson’s Hospital. He was wondering when he got home can his throat hurt from laughing so much. He seemed to learn a lot from the talks as well as all the new Rugby skills. The coaching and care team were excellent and so professional whilst making it all fun and engaging a great result in younger boys. He can’t wait for next year and by all accounts the food was fab.

Thank you PSA Academy for a fantastic rugby camp, my son really enjoyed the week he spent with you.

I'm a parent of one of the kids that attended the recent course in Multyfarnham, i'm also a coach of several of the kids that attended.

I was seriously impressed with the set up, its not easy for some parents to allow their children away from home with people that to them were strangers but Luke and the pastoral team really looked after the kids and dealt with any concerns. The daily updates with pics of how they were getting on also helped, a lot !

All of my kids first and foremost had a ball. They were well fed, were well looked after and there was a fun element to an awful lot of what they did.

Secondly, the focus on their rugby development was fantastic, there was video analysis of their positioning, their handing and a focus on improving their overall skillset.

Finally and something that I am going to have to live with for some time is I now have 9 kids who have had a really high level of coaching which means I'm going to have to seriously lift my game when it comes to the coming season.

Big big thaks to Graham and all of the crew, all of my kids that attended are already talking about going back next year, a sure sign that they enjoyed it.

My son enjoy this camp so must the skills he learned both on and off the pitch. Hes confidence has come on so much from the camp. He spent the week having so much fun with the group of guys he meet.

Great camp. Professional and fun.

A great week, with excellent coaches, speakers and pastoral staff. Highly recommended.

Excellent camp for my 14 yr old son.
Great line up of mentors and guest coaches.
Well communicated to parents with daily updates.
I would highly recommend,
My son will be back next year.

Very professional , very enjoyable , highly recommended

I would definitely recommend this camp. My son loved every minute of it. He has attended quite a few camps over the last few years but said this was by far the best camp he’s been too.
Each day they were split into small groups and practiced different core skills. They were also put through a series of fitness tests and given advice on proper nutrition and the importance of sleep and rest. An individual report was emailed to myself a week later together with video footage of them performing each core skill.
My son felt that he wasn’t just a face in the crowd at this camp. He felt that he had positive interaction with each and every one of the coaches on a daily basis. They were encouraging and very knowledgable and he came away from the camp really having felt that he’d improved on the skills he already had. He genuinely wished he could have stayed longer.
We will definitely be a repeat customer. Just wish they’d run some camps in Scotland too!

Excellent camp. Very well organized Great to get updates every day.Excellent coaching. Food and accommodation great.

I hope that next year the girls camp will be 5 days.

Excellent week for my 12 year old son in terms of improving his skills, learning about nutrition, mental health, injury prevention and most importantly the fun he had with his team/ academy mates. The academy team went above and beyond to make sure each child got the most out of their week. Exceptional communication from the academy. I would highly recommend to anybody.

I would highly recommend PSA academies. The pre-event information was comprehensive, registration and kick off presentation was clear and engaging. My son really enjoyed the camp both from a skills and knowledge perspective, and from a building friendships and social point of view. The coaches were patient and supportive. The updates via social media helped to see what was happening during the week. Well done to all.

My son had an amazing experience at the Kilkenny camp. Great emphasis on teambuilding from day one so that the group gelled, not something that happens in many camps. Very experienced and professional staff and guest coaching from experts in the rugby world. Great fun with real life Cluedo and games etc in evening. Nutritious food. There was a genuine mutual respect between instructors who where genuinely interested and the attendees. Well worth every penny.

I haven’t had much information from my son about the camp but he did ask me to book it again for next year, so it must have been good!

James has a very enjoyable week, it was his first time to experience a residential camp. He went knowing no body.He certainly would recommend it, and he is already speaking about going again.
The daily feed back and photos was reassuring as a parent, thank you Cory.
I felt the limited access to the phones was good,as all the players needed to interact with each other.

Best camp ever!
- Our 12 year old son didn’t want to come home just loved every minute of this camp. They were busy all day / evening with a wide variety of technical rugby and fun activities. All the Coaches were excellent he said. He wishes the camp was longer and declared it best week of his summer. Food also got a great thumbs up!
- From my perspective the regular communications and photos were very reassuring during the camp. Also the mobile phone usage being restricted to half hour in evening worked very well. The guest speakers and additional topics covered eg nutrition, mental health, injury prevention were fantastic. We are looking forward to getting the feedback from camp too.
We highly recommend this camp.
THANK YOU ALL

Joe enjoyed the camp ,he loved the tackle bags and all the activities.He liked the venue and the coaches.He really enjoyed the talks and the fitness tests and challenges.He was well looked after.His only complaint was his pillow was lumpy!!

This is the Second year my son attended the PSA academy in Kilkenny College. Last year he attended non residential which he throughly enjoyed so much so he wanted to attend as a resident this summer. This by far exceeded his and my expectations. The team at PSA are just amazing, they keep constant communication with the parents which is not the norm at other camps. This really puts your mind at ease that A they are ok and B they are really enjoying. PSA has a wonderful attitude towards the players it’s holistic, caring and brings out the best in all the players. This camp is for all who have a passion for rugby. We would highly recommend this camp and could not fault it. The food and facilities at KG are excellent too. Again Well done PSA
