The Rhinos Activity camps are the perfect way for any sports mad child to spend their school holidays. Through quality coaching, delivered from qualified coaches, the camps are designed to encourage both boys and girls to get involved and stay active. Whether the child is just starting out or has ambitions to play for the Rhinos one day they will enjoy a variety of activities, learning different skills, meeting new friends and having plenty of fun!
“My son Joseph came home absolutely full of what he'd been doing each day - he had a great time! It makes it really special that they have training from Barrie and Willie - it's brilliant that they manage to make time for the kids the way they do. Johnny and the rest of the staff do a fantastic job - they seem to have a really good rapport with the kids. And of course those shirt signing sessions with the team - a real highlight!” Claire Macklam
Since 2005 the Rhinos community team have delivered a number of highly successful Activity Camps, which have attracted hundreds of children from across the region. The camps involve rugby coaching from the Leeds Rhinos community coaching team, dance classes from the Radio Aire Dance Team and multi sports sessions.
The aims of the sessions are to teach rugby and sports skills to children of all levels, as well as giving them the chance to exercise and have fun. The camps are led by Leeds Rhinos’ RFL qualified community coaches and have previously feature Rhinos’ legends Barrie McDermott and Willie Poching. The multi sports sessions will be led by experts in their field and are delivered in a safe and controlled environment.
