Northampton Saints have opened bookings for their Summer 2026 community rugby camps, with sessions running across four counties in July and August. The club’s community team launched the programme on 29 May, offering children from Under-6s to Under-16s the chance to attend one-, two-, or three-day skills clinics at venues including cinch Stadium at Franklin’s Gardens.
The camps take place over three weeks: 20 to 24 July, 17 to 21 August, and 24 to 28 August. Each day runs from 9am until 3.30pm, with mixed sessions alongside girls-only and boys-only options. Coaching follows the same principles used by the Saints and Lightning Senior Squads and throughout the Saints Academy, emphasising the club’s SPIRIT values of sportsmanship, pride, integrity, respect, innovation, and teamwork.
Early bird pricing is available until midday on Friday 12 June, with one-day camps costing £35, two-day camps £65, and three-day camps £95. After that deadline, standard rates will apply. Parents can secure places through the Northampton Saints website, which directs them to the Universe booking platform. Venues stretch beyond Northamptonshire into Warwickshire, Cambridgeshire, and Suffolk, including local rugby clubs such as Olney, Towcestrians, Bugbrooke, Wellingborough, and Rushden and Higham.
The programme offers a pathway for youngsters to develop their game in a structured environment. By mirroring the senior and academy set-up, the camps aim to give participants a taste of professional coaching while keeping the focus on enjoyment and personal growth over the school holidays.
