Harlequins Premiership Rugby Club come to Marbella
For the very first time, Premiership Rugby Club Harlequins are coming to Marbella to inspire the future generation of rugby players on the Costa del Sol. Harlequins is one of the UK’s best-known clubs and they are running a three-day rugby camp for kids from 6 to 17 years old from the 25th to the 27th of March.
Harlequins are one of the UK’s oldest and most famous clubs. They are well known for their brand of attacking rugby that brought them the Gallagher Premiership title in 2021. They have six members of the England squad for the 2024 Six Nations, including Marcus Smith, Danny Care & Joe Marler, together with Springbok RWC winner Andre Esterhuizen.
Rugby Tour Spain and Marbella Rugby Club have organized this camp, to offer children on the Costa del Sol the opportunity to be trained by some of the best coaches in the world. Marbella Rugby Club is hosting the three-day event and they are very excited to welcome Head of Community Coaching Mark Cadogan and the Head coach of Richmond Rugby Club ladies and their team to the Costa del Sol.
Ade Parsons, co-founder of Rugby Tour Spain and ex-professional rugby player commented, “We’re delighted to welcome the Mighty Quins to Marbella for the first time. This will be an amazing opportunity for boys and girls from the Costa del Sol to improve their technical and tactical skills, as well as gain insight into the Harlequins’ way of attacking and defence. Players will be challenged to develop world-class habits around the fundamental core skills: running, catching, passing, decision making, identifying space and contact management.
Quins coaches are always looking to identify talent from all countries, and players attending the camp will be assessed and supported by the coaches and will benefit greatly from the experience.
This is part of our commitment to developing rugby in this region and improve the skill levels and opportunities for our players.”
The camp runs from 10:00 – 17:00 every day between the 25th and the 27th of March. It is open to boys and girls from 6 years to 17 years and groups will be arranged by age and ability to ensure players get the most from this opportunity. All participants will receive a free Quins gift and an official certificate, and there will be daily prizes to be won. The camp costs 180€ for the three days and includes lunch.
