Turn Your Lad Into A Fearless Tackler This Summer

A 7-week summer wrestling camp built for young rugby players. We teach them to win the contact, tackle safely, and walk onto the pitch with real confidence.

Ages 11–14 Tue & Thu · 9:00am Starts 21st July Carlson Gracie Hull, Bransholme

Run successfully in 2025 with 40+ local players — now back, bigger and better.

Here's the truth

Most kids aren't scared of rugby.
They're scared of the contact.

The hesitation in the tackle. Getting bumped off. Going to ground and not knowing how to get back up. It's not a toughness problem — it's a skill problem. Nobody's ever shown them how to use their body in contact. That's exactly what we fix.

By the end of the summer, your lad won't just be braver. He'll be better — a smarter, safer, more dominant player who actually wants the ball when it matters.

The Programme

Good To Know

Parent Questions

Does my child need any wrestling experience?

None at all. Most of the lads last year had never wrestled. We start from the very beginning and build up safely, week by week.

What should they wear?

Something comfortable with no zips (zips rip the mats). Bring crocs or flip-flops for getting on and off the mat. We'll provide a free training shirt and grip socks.

Can I stay and watch?

Absolutely. We have benches alongside the mat — you're welcome to stay and watch, or pop out and come back.

Is it safe?

Safety is everything. All contact is controlled and coached step-by-step. Our mats are cleaned multiple times a day — and we ask every lad to shower as soon as they get home to keep things spotless.

When and where is it?

Tuesday & Thursday mornings at 9:00am, across the summer holidays at Carlson Gracie Hull in the Bransholme Centre. First session is Tuesday 21st July; final session is Thursday 3rd September.

What if he misses a session for holidays?

No problem at all — plenty of lads were away for a week or two last year. Just let us know in the parent group and we'll keep you posted on what was covered.

Only 30 Spaces. Last Year Sold Out.

Give your lad the summer that turns him into the player his team can count on in the contact.
