Best camp ever

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!

5 star recommendation

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

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.

PSA Academies, Kilkenny

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

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.

PSA Kilkenny - Best camp ever

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

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

PSA Rugby Camps is a must for any player looking for personal and team development in an environment that is 2nd to none. Leaders / coaches and external speakers were excellent. Time for personal reflection and goal setting was a great success for our son. He came home happy, enthused and full of ideas not only for himself but also for his teammates. A great week - thanks to all.

My son had a fantastic 3 night residential, he thoroughly enjoyed himself. He loved the talks about nutrition and concussion and especially loved the teachings and advice from the professional coaches. He felt like a real rugby player throughout the three days.

PSA Academy

My son really enjoyed his time at the PSA camp in Kilkenny College this year. He learned a lot and boy just in terms of his rugby. The team of coaches and pastoral staff were enthusiastic and experienced. They went above and beyond for the kids and that shows in how much they enjoyed their camp. Thanks for a great week. Would highly recommend
