Rugby Camp

At Stonyhurst, sport is integral to the formation of the whole person. Through physical endeavour, young people develop far more than technique and fitness – they build character, resilience, leadership and integrity. These are qualities that endure, shaping not only future athletes, but future leaders in every walk of life.

Stonyhurst holds a proud and distinguished rugby tradition. The College has nurtured generations of talented players, several of whom have gone on to represent their country at the highest level. Among our celebrated alumni are Joe Ansbro (Scotland), and 2003 Rugby World Cup champions Will Greenwood, Kyran Bracken and Iain Balshaw – each testament to the excellence of our coaching and the spirit of our rugby community.

In Easter 2025, the Stonyhurst Rugby Experience will be led by Dino Radice alongside an outstanding team of experienced coaches. This immersive programme will combine high-performance training with the core values that define our sporting ethos – discipline, teamwork, and pride in one’s performance.

We invite aspiring players to step onto our historic pitches, challenge themselves, and be part of something extraordinary.

Testimonials

'Dino's coaching helped me develop massively when I was in my younger part of my career, so it's great to see him and his coaching team passing on the wealth of knowledge they have. The facilities they use at Stonyhurst are top class and cater to any weather conditions. These camps will be the closest to a professional environment while also also being good fun for anyone!'

Sam Bedlow, Sale Sharks Centre

'My 10 year old grandson is still talking about how much he enjoyed the Stonyhurst Rugby Camp in August. On arrival, not having been there before, he was very impressed by the college buildings and grounds . He knew no one else who was attending but quickly made friends. The camp was very well organised. He came away enthused and feeling he had learnt a great deal and it is no surprise that he is  keen to return next year.'

John O'Driscoll - Stonyhurst OS, Ireland International & British Lion:

'As a young player, I took pride in representing my school and local club, playing with my mates each week. I learned a lot at that level, but exposure to representative rugby with Lancashire and North of England U18s introduced me to elite players, stronger opposition, and top-quality coaching, which helped me develop my game.

It was through Lancashire that I met Dino, whose world-class insight and support were invaluable. As both a coach and a friend, he has guided me for over 12 years. The coaching I received there was crucial to my early development, providing the foundation to play for Loughborough Students in National League 1 while earning my degree, before progressing to professional rugby with Sale Sharks, Jersey Reds, and now London Irish.'
