YOURYOUR RUGBYRUGBY EXPERIENCEEXPERIENCE

YOUR TOUR FIXTURES AND TOURNAMENTS For your mini-rugby tour, we are determined to provide the rugby experience that is right for your team. Whether it be one-off fixtures, round-robin matches or entry into a tournament, or a mix of each, there are many combinations available. Our recommended fixture schedule would start with a round robin match with UI3 RUGBY ON TOUR two local clubs on the Saturday afternoon. We will take care of this on your be- half. This would follow your activities on Saturday morning and allow plenty time to enjoy your hosts hospitality in the early evening, before heading back to base for Dinner. Sunday would then coincide with entry to an existing mini-rugby festival at a club near to your tour base or on the route home. These club-run events are organised for the right reasons and are often of a far greater quality than tour- naments arranged solely for touring teams. The list of tournaments is enormous, however, we have put together a directo- ry of existing Mini Rugby Festivals that we feel will be a fantastic addition to U8 RUGBY ON TOUR! your tour. See Page 8 for more details.

TRAINING with COACHING from THE PROS What better highlight of a tour than to see your team put through their paces by a Premiership Rugby Coach? Clubs like Leicester Tigers & Sale Sharks run exceptional community programmes that allow for young players to live the professional life for an afternoon. While packages vary from club to club, the training session will follow a tour of the stadium, some giveaways, a Q&A with a 1st XV player or two and finish with tickets to a Premiership Match. Prices range from £25-£40 depending on the host club and the package chosen, TRAINING WITH but we highly recommend this as a valuable highlight to your mini-rugby tour.

PREMIERSHIP MATCH TICKETS You’ve played your games, you’ve tired yourselves out with late nights and ac- tivities, what better way to relax and finish off the tour than to take your seat in one of British Rugby’s iconic stadia and watch the heroes in action? From Sale Sharks to Leicester Tigers, we are able to arrange match tickets for your group to a number of Premiership Match fixtures. Prices for Premiership matches do vary. We recommend booking early to ensure availability.

YOURYOUR TOURTOUR REPREP

When you arrive at your tour location, you will be met off the coach by a group of ex- ceptionally enthusiastic team-leaders. Throughout your stay, you will have their dedicated attention and commitment to offering you a high quality and fun-filled stay while on tour. Your team-leader will be your point of contact at the centre throughout the weekend, and they will keep you informed as to your activities, meals and departure times. The team leaders will also remove all the stresses from being a parent while on tour. Once the kids are in their company, the parents can relax, kick-back and enjoy the tour

as much as the children.

“This was the first experience of tour for the boys. They had a great time which was made possible by the PGL staff, the tour planning and our fantastic hosts at Hove RFC and Worthing RFC. I would thoroughly recommend Sky High Sports.” IAN THOMPSON, BRENTWOOD RFC U11, SUSSEX TOUR 2014

“The staff were friendly and polite, and our rep Jack was an absolute cracking lad who couldn't do enough for us.” HANNAH FOUNDS, WIRRAL RFC U11, SHROPSHIRE TOUR 2014

“The PGL staff were without doubt the making of the trip, nothing was to much trouble with activities changed at last minute to suit preference on the day.

BOARDBOARD ANDAND CATERINGCATERING

Throughout your tour, the entire party will be treated to full-board treatment. To be specific, an evening meal will be served on the night of arrival, followed by breakfast on each morning of the tour. Lunch will be provided either on site on the first full-day on-site and topped up with some good old rugby-club-grub after your tour match. The lunch can be re-jigged elsewhere in the itinerary to fill a gap - a popular choice is lunch immediately following arrival on Friday afternoon.

Whilst we are not saying the food is that of a Michelin Starred Restaurant, you will be surprised by the freshness, quality, amount and variety available at each centre. Each Dining Hall operates like a school canteen. You will be given a timeslot to enable you all to be seated together - after that, it is simple!

With a big focus on local-produce and healthy eating, breakfast consists of a good hot and cold buffet with fruit, cereals, juice and some heartier platefuls available. At Lunch, you can choose from a make-your-own sandwich bar, salad bar or the cooked meals section which champions Chilli Con Carne, Lasagne, Fish ‘n’ Chips and the like. Dinner is much the same, with a greater variety of

main meals, soups & desserts on offer.

From the first contact with Richie, right through to getting off the bus when we arrived home, the experience was brilliant. Well managed and organised with loads to do. We will be recommending the service to other clubs in the area and hope to travel with you again. JO THOMAS, CAERPHILLY TIGERS RFC, SHROPSHIRE, APRIL 2014

From the minute our coach driver picked us up at the club we all thoroughly en- joyed ourselves. It was the boys first tour and they had good fun. Thanks SAMANTHA COWLING, DISS RFC, LINCOLNSHIRE, APRIL 2014

We had a fantastic time on tour. The room set up when we got there was great, set away from other groups so we could be a little noisy if we wanted to. The staff were friendly and polite, and our rep Jack was an absolute cracking lad who could- n't do enough for us. The Rugby itself the teams we played virtually matched us in skill which made for some great rugby. The hosting teams were exceptional. Food at the accommodation was good, no one went hungry. All in all though a fantastic tour. HANNAH FOUNDS, WIRRAL RFC, SHROPSHIRE, APRIL 2014

Windmill Hill was a lovely location and a huge improvement from our original site we were going to in Kent. The boys had a fantastic experience and were looked after brilliantly by our hosting Rugby clubs. The raft building was great fun and we had warm sunny weather to make the weekend even more memorable. The accommodation was perfect for our team and the boys were able to bond together and enjoy their weekend. Overall a great time was had by all and winning the trophy on the last day was a fantastic end to a hard season. STEVE PRATLEY, ESHER RFC, SUSSEX, MAY 2014

Banbury U14s had a fantastic tour to PGL Osmington Bay, organised by Sky High Sports. Boys and adults alike enjoyed the PGL activities, and we had a 5-way rugby tournament at Dorchester, which was very well organised. Really comfortable, new bedding! Many laughs throughout the weekend... and even the weather was great. Would strongly recommend. CLARE WOOD, BANBURY RFC, DORSET, MAY 2014

So many happy faces. I got so many thank yous' for a fantastic time. The PGL cen- tre and staff were excellent, it was very kind of Peterborough RFC to coincide their beer festival with our tour, and Dinnington RFC run an excellent Minis Festival. With our dedicated fund raising we got the cost per head down for a fully catered, fully transported weekend including the activities. Excellent value and not a hitch.

TOURTOUR KITKIT WITHWITH BLKBLK SPORTSPORT

Sky High Sports is delighted to work with BLK Sport, one of the most dynamic rugby- specialist apparel brands in the UK. BLK arrived in Europe from Australia with a bang in 2012, and is already the brand of choice for Stade Toulousain, The & Connacht. Their range of stash is exceptional, their prices as good as it gets and their bespoke de- sign-your-own facility leads to limitless options.

BLK isn’t just a name, it’s an attitude driven by a deliberate and defining insight - that nothing new ever comes from the known; that real innovation, real design and real im- provements in performance come only from operating outside the boundaries of every- thing that’s gone before.

This absolute refusal to merely repeat or refine the past but to relentlessly push beyond all limits known, is a philosophy instilled in BLK from its early beginnings as KooGa Aus- tralia.

Today that philosophy is reflected in the ground-breaking training gear and performance apparel worn by over 4,000 teams around the world, including national representative sides such as the Manu Samoa , Fiji Rugby Union & USA Rugby.

This will form a contract between you and Sky High Sports.  A simple spread sheet that requests the necessary passenger information such as name, date of birth, and existing medical conditions. We will also ask you to tell us about each persons relation to the group. This will enable us to plan the ideal room allocation for your tour party.  An activity preference form. With so many to choose from, we need to know which activities your group would like to enjoy.  A questionnaire that will enable us to arrange the ideal level, number and type of Sporting Fixtures for your team while on tour. Between the time of booking and departure day, your dedicated tour manager at Sky High Sports will maintain a regu- lar contact to ensure we have the correct information from you, and that you are aware of the development of the tour. Where appropriate, face-to-face meetings will be preferable to achieve this. Then, six weeks ahead of the tour, a full and confirmed itinerary including the key contacts, an hour-by-hour schedule and a detailed guide will be sent to you. At this stage however, subtle changes may be made to the itinerary. WWW.SKYHIGHSPORTS.BIZ RUGBY TOURS FOR THE NEXT GENERATION
