One of the things we love about our camps at Elite Rugby Academy is the opportunity to spend time developing areas of the game that are hugely important, but don’t always get the attention they deserve during a busy season.
Snap back to one of our recent Easter Camps, one of the key focuses was footwork in close quarters and finishing in the corner.
These are game-changing skills that can make the difference in tight situations, but during the season there often isn’t enough time to really break them down, repeat them, and explore all the details properly.
The camp environment gave players the chance to work on balance, body position, deception, late footwork, edge awareness, and finishing under pressure in a way that simply isn’t always possible when preparing for weekly fixtures.
It was brilliant to see players growing in confidence, experimenting, and developing solutions in tight spaces rather than just relying on speed or power.
Sometimes the biggest improvements come from spending time on the finer details of the game.
