CARDIFF & SOUTH WALES
Opportunity for Groups to Train with Cardiff Blues, Ospreys & Llanelli Scarlets Academy Staff.
Rugby Union in Wales is the national sport and is a large part of national culture. South Wales is a true hotbed of rugby with four professional regions and hundreds of amateur teams, as well as numerous high standard school teams. The 74,000 capacity Principality Stadium located in Cardiff City Centre, with a retractable roof, is commonly considered the ‘best rugby stadium in the world’.
Groups of all standards, age and gender can enjoy high level coaching at top class training facilities combined with high quality friendly fixtures, stadium tours & attending ‘live professional games’.
All EcoSports tours are individually tailor made. The services highlighted below are typical of what we include in our packages, however we can accommodate other specific requests. Groups travelling from Asia, Australasia or North America can combine a stop over in South Wales with other destinations in England and Scotland to create a real UK ‘bucket list’ rugby experience. This could include training sessions with leading clubs in all three countries.
