PSA Academies Reviews 

Shane attended the week in Midleton and had a fantastic experience. He really enjoyed the expert training he received from experienced international coaches as well as all the other activities provided that made the week so enjoyable. The camp was really well run and a special word must go to Francis who looked after them so well in the dorms. Shane will definitely return next year.

Really fantastic camp for my son (10). A great week of rugby, swimming, fun and comradery. Highly recommended. We will be back.

Our son really enjoyed his week in Roscrea. He was well looked after when he had a bit of a health issue and there were reassuring phone calls and texts from the coaches and pastoral staff.

He made lots of new friends and was particularly taken with the coaches. They gave him lots of routines to take home and continue to work on.

He wants to go back next year. Always a great sign.

It was my son's first year to attend. He hasn't stopped talking about it. The whole experience of going and staying there was amazing. He said the coaches and physio were top notch. The honesty from the coaches is what makes the difference. The food was great and there was plenty. It just didn't stop with the daily training, the evening activities were also great.
Part of that experience was meeting lads who were all there for the same experience. He made great friends who had respect for everyone.
He said if he had to choose between a sun holiday and there , it would be this camp ! Thanks to all for an amazing experience.

My son Aaron spent the week in Roscrea (CCR) and has returned home a very tired but happy 14 year old ! He learned and developed skills, gained some independence and made new friends. The coaching, mentoring and genuine interest of the PSA staff was excellent. They bring in expert coaches for each discipline so the players really feel like their game is being improved. If you’d like a week for your child who loves rugby, to develop new friendships and learn to manage their time look no further !!! Plus …. They barely go near their phones 🙌 Thank you.

This is my son's 3rd consecutive year participating. Like most teens, 90% is showing up! The eye rolls to get him there - but the complete opposite on the drive home collecting him!

Every time gets better - 'the coaches are sound' (his words!) And the returning or 8 lads that he met last year were the icing on the cake!

Dan VanZyl is top notch - and I was a Division 1 athlete (way back in the day!) He has a great camp!

My son attended the residential camp in Roscrea and really enjoyed the week. It was his second time to attend a PSA camp. The experienced coaching team and staff took great care of the kids. Physio also present. A fabulous week of rugby including strength and conditioning and even a little time for swimming. Roscrea has excellent facilities in a safe and rural setting. He’s looking forward to attending again next year. Thank you to all the PSA team

My son Adam has just returned from a camp in Roscrea. He had an amazing time and made lots of new friends. He said the coaching was excellent and he learned a lot.

My son had a fantastic week in the PSA camp. The coaching was excellent. 3 hot meals a day. New skills developed & memories for life. Highly recommend.

My kids had an amazing time! I will say the girls seemed to be"hidden" and treated a little differently. Other than that, they had a great time!

Great camp and made my 15 year old American son feel so welcome. Looking forward to the 16-18 camp.

Unfortunately this year girls were disappointed as no strength and conditioning with many overseas coaches solely for boys
Girls had just two coaches for entire week whilst boys had multiple coaches and girls would have liked those coaches to teach them also
They felt segregation 😢

This was 2nd year my daughter attended, she is now 14, last year Middleton and this year Kilkenny, the.coaching was very good and friendly. It is full on training, good discipline and if you are into that I would recommend it fully, very good communication and very safe and professional

This was the first year that both my daughter and son went to the camp. They both had a great time and the staff was super helpful. It was very apparent that it is geared towards the upper age boys. The girls didn't do everything the boys did and were kinda pushed to the side. They got to meet a lot of new people and learned some good skills.

This was my sons second year camp in Roscrea. Thoroughly enjoyed it again met new and old friends, great coaching, great fun and a super start to his rugby season.
Highly recommend
Thanks guys 👍

My boys, a 13 year old and 16 year old, say that the camp was unreal, and came away wanting more. Roll on to 2025 camps!

My son attended tha camp in Kilkenny College.
Came home immersed in rugby, tried from the intensity of the camp.

But enjoyed every minute of it.
Recommend to anyone.

My son attend the camp this week and had a blast, he said the drills and skills training was brilliant, he has made friends and great memories, thanks to all the team and coaches ! He can’t wait to go back again next year

Amazing camp from a rugby perspective, huge learning for kids of all ages. Run really well, very professional and friendly.., would highly recommend

This is the 3rd year my kids have been involved with this camp in Kilkenny College and they’re already looking forward to next years visit. Or they will be when they wake up!
The coaches/pastoral team were fantastic and I’ve only heard great things about everyone.
The rugby experience was intense and the boys both said they feel stronger after it.
Highly recommended. Thank you all ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
