TESTIMONIALS
Kids
I have had a brilliant week and thought the coaches were really cool. Wish it could be held every school holidays – when is the next one?
Really great, it was good of coaches normally coaching their countries best to find time to help us at Wootton Bassett.
Parents
My son Chico has just finished a week’s course in Windsor and already wants to sign up for next year. He is continually chanting the Haka and wants to get Maori tattoos (taking things a bit too far). I can’t tell you how much he enjoyed his week…
My son Jordan attended the rugby camp held at Farnborough last week & I would just like to thank the coaches for the excellent time that he had, thanks especially to Sam who was Jordan’s coach for the week. Jordan came away having learned so much, he can’t wait until he can do the camp again next time. If you have a mailing list could you please add my name to it for any courses you hold in the future?
Just felt we had to make contact to let you know how much Sam has enjoyed his week at the camp. The skills and confidence he has gained is amazing. Sam came home each night full of the things they had been doing and praise for the coaches. Please pass on our thanks to the coaches, we feel that this camp has helped Sam and set him up for the coming season.
Please could you pass on our thanks to everyone involved in last week’s course held in Towcester. My son thoroughly enjoyed the week and the coaches were terrific with the children – Mel, Gavin, Travis and the other two chaps. It was great to see the coaches in action, both on the pitch and off!
Hosts
Just to say we had a great time with Sam & Adam last week – really great guys – Angus got so much from the course and enjoyed bringing his ‘boys’ home afterwards. We will definitely repeat the exercise next year if Angus is still as keen on rugby as he is now!
Thank you, my son Ephi really enjoyed his week, his coach ‘Otenili was an inspiration. Socious Sports have given the boys a fantastic opportunity. Ephi will certainly be attending next year, lets hope it will be for two weeks next time. I would certainly recommend hosting; we had the pleasure of “The Big Man” Johan. He was a delight, fully house trained and amusing with it! We would welcome him back next year. Please pass on our thanks.
Well it was certainly worth it, we had a lovely coach, Richard Aho, who got on well in our mad house and also interacted well with the kids and our home life. He taught us much about the way of life in New Zealand and his own experiences of travelling the world and playing the game of Rugby.
As the week came to an end, we realised we had made the right decision to host a coach and have already put our name forward for next year, I am sure that when the other families hear what a great time we had there will be an abundance of hosts for next year.
Child protection is essential to running a successful camp which is why all of our coaches are CRB checked in their home nation before being employed – we also run them through a child protection workshop when they arrive – provided by Sports Coach UK. Each camp will have at least one coach with current first aid qualifications.
Every child is signed in and out of the camp each day and no child will be left at the venue unattended at anytime.
The key stages of appointing a Socious Sports coach are as follows;
• Receive application for coaching position
• Conduct telephone interview if personal meeting is inappropriate
• Request international CRB checks and confirm once received
• Process contract of employment
• Personal reference checks carried out by Socious Sports
• Upon arrival in UK conduct Child Protection workshop and Socious Sports induction
We are confident that our processes and procedures are sufficient to ensure a safe and encouraging environment; suitable for children of all ages and abilities

• Emphasise the value of innovative coaching.
• Emphasise the value of creating peer coaching groups.
• Challenge how and why coaches identify and select players to play within the scrum.
• Emphasise the value and benefits of all players being coached on individual body posture.
A Safe Focus:
• Promote safe and effective scrummaging as an integral part of the game.
• Demonstrate good practice and underline recent developments in scrummage coaching.
• Increase coaches confidence in coaching the scrum.
