English Premiership Rugby team comes to Sotogrande

waspsEnglish Premiership rugby team, Wasps RFC are set to arrive in Sotogrande next month to host an exclusive rugby training camp at Sotogrande’s Club De Rugby, located in Pueblo Nuevo de Guadiaro.

Wasps are one of the most important and most successful rugby clubs in the European league. They have won at least one of every major European competition in the past ten years and have in the past taken home the Heineken Cup, Anglo-Welsh Cup and the Aviva Premiership title. The club,founded in 1876,has produced many top international players,including Lawrence Dallaglio, Joe Worsley, Josh Lewsey, Simon Shaw and Serge Betson.

Wasp’s community manager Ian Sham is set to lead the three-day training programme, which will begin on 14th April, at the Calla Altmir ground. Open to both members and non-members, the event makes for a fantastic opportunity for youngsters between the ages of 10-18 who have a keen interest in the sport and would like to improve their skills, to learn from some of the top coaches and players in European Rugby Union.

Recognising the importance professional players have as positive role models, the training programme comes as part of the Wasps’ community initiative, where the club strives to form long- term relationships with schools, universities and sports clubs.

This will be the first Wasps training camp help at Sotogrande. However, in the likelihood that it should it be a success, the resort is sure to attract a second Wasps training event in the not too distant future.

There are limited places available and Sotogrande Club de Rugby has already reported that there has already been a high level of interest in the event. Parents are advised to register their children as soon as possible for what is set to be an unforgettable Easter weekend.

Sotogrande makes for an excellent choice for those who are looking to relocate to a family friendly area that offers the opportunity to make the most of outdoor life.
