Parent Testimonial
“Our son attended The College of Rugby for two years during Covid and achieved his Level 3 BTEC qualifications, Mathematics & English GCSEs. It must have been a challenging time managing all the logistics around Covid plus the general day-to-day organisation, thank you for persisting. The tutors made the training sessions fun and enjoyable whilst managing to improve his skills and fitness. Our son learnt considerably under their guidance both in terms of technique and discipline and went on to play for Lancashire. We have always found Kenny & Mark to be open and welcoming coaches, who supported our son through very difficult times. They are a fantastic team at the College and are always approachable to discussions with parents and family and have taught our son great values: respect, effort, trust, sportsmanship and friendship. We highly recommend The College of Rugby!”
