Glendale hosts High School Rugby Camps

The Glendale Raptors Rugby Academy (GRRA) is the result of years of coaching development and expertise, but Glendale’s Infinity Park adds still more to the program. The world-class training facilities, renowned national and international coaches, and excellent conditioning and nutrition staff will further the immersive nature of the GRRA.

High school players have an exciting opportunity with GRRA each year. Intensive four-day camps are offered at Infinity Park in Glendale, Colorado for both Girls and Boys in 8th-12th grades. With USA Rugby National Team players, and Glendale Raptors Elite men’s and women’s coaches and players acting as coaches, participants will work on high-level skills development and training. A low player to coach ratio (10:1 or less) insures an intimate, individual focus for any player requiring additional instruction. The camps even incorporate rugby training into downtime, through the analysis of video, nutrition seminars, and training education.
