Martin Stanley and his band of professional coaches are coming back to Singapore for the New Zealand Rugby Experience Camp (NZRE) from 10-14 July. For six hours a day we’ll be hosting this awesome rugby camp on the Centaurs pitches.
Marty and his team will be coaching rugby skills and drills NZ STYLE via a fun, safe, encouraging and all-inclusive environment – emphasis on FUN!
Come and see how kids in NZ train. Learn their secrets, find out what makes them so good. See the passion for this great game through enthusiasm of these qualified coaches. And see for yourself why the NZRE camps have been so popular in the UK for over 10 years.
There’s a uniquely NZ flavour to the camp and a big cultural element throughout the week. There’ll be the ‘odd’ Maori word taught at the camp (ok, there’ll be more than the odd word) along with the famous NZ Haka which the kids will perform for family and friends on the last Friday – definitely a highpoint of the week. There’ll even be a coaches vs older kids Touch challenge played on the last day. It’s social for parents too: bring a picnic and a glass of your favourite on Friday to enjoy the afternoon camp breakup together. No promises but there may even be a guitar and Kiwi singalong!

Testimonials for NZRE, Marty & his team
Rugby camp well worth it!
Our son really enjoyed the 5 days rugby camp experience especially learning the Haka. His favourite things were tackling practice and playing the games.
Coaches were fabulous with the kids and successfully managed the various personalities/ages. Thank you for keeping him active and busy during the camps! – Yati, NZRE Camp parent 2016
A favourite for us and our son
Our son attended the NZRE rugby camp and absolutely loved it… it actually really made him passionate about rugby and it helped improve his skills!! The coaches were really good and the kids learned while having fun. Of course, the highlight of the week for us was going to see them at the last training doing the Haka :). Well organised and at a convenient location it was a favourite all-round, for us and our son. – Fay McGrath, NZRE Camp parent 2016
