Our Lower School rugby team recently enjoyed an unforgettable reward trip to Leicester Tigers Rugby Club, packed with training, inspiration, and top-tier sporting action.
The day kicked off bright and early at 7:00 AM as the team headed to Leicester for a full day of rugby experiences. First up was a two-hour coaching clinic led by Leicester Tigers’ expert staff, focusing on both individual development and team tactics. The players threw themselves into the session, showing real commitment and passion for the game.
Following the clinic, the team were treated to a Q&A with first-team player Sam Williams. Sam shared his journey from grassroots rugby to the professional stage and offered valuable advice on how to progress in the sport. His insight and encouragement left a lasting impression on our students, who asked thoughtful questions about life as a professional athlete.
Next stop was the iconic Mattioli Woods Welford Road stadium - home of Leicester Tigers - where the boys had a team photo taken on the pitch, proudly sporting their new Tigers T-shirts.
The day concluded with a thrilling match between Leicester Tigers and Harlequins, where the Tigers dominated with a 40–7 victory. Watching world-class rugby live offered a perfect end to the day and plenty of inspiration to take back onto the training pitch at Highfields.
A fantastic day all round, and a well-earned reward for a hardworking and dedicated group of players!
