Scott Johnson, the Director of
Coaching for the Ospreys in Wales, will be staying at Shawnigan from July 17th
until the 22nd. He is recognized as one of the best attack coaches in the
world, and has worked with the Australian, Welsh and USA national teams.
Coaches have an opportunity to (literally) live and work with him during this
week, as he demonstrates his talent with the 40 residential youth participants
and the coaches. Kieran Crowley, John Tait, Geraint John and Jim Delaney will
also be featured, as well as a number of Canadian players. Evening socials will
end two a day field sessions and some time relaxing on the water.
Cost is (a
reduced) $599.00 for five nights room and board. Here are a few testimonials from
last year:
"The
SLS summer rugby academy is the best rugby coaching clinic I am aware of in
Canada. The program provides formal and informal opportunities to interact with
top professional and international-level coaches. Participants get to hear the
coaching philosophies, technical approaches and see the drills that these top
coaches run for their athletes. I cannot think of too many rugby coaches who
would not benefit in some way from attending this program.”

Swainson, Rugby Ontario Junior Blues U14 Coach
