THE TOUR ITINERARYTHE TOUR ITINERARY



For your mini-rugby tour, we are determined to provide the rugby experience

that is right for your team. Whether it be one-off fixtures, round-robin matches

or entry into a tournament, or a mix of each, there are many combinations

available.

Our recommended fixture schedule would start with a round robin match with

two local clubs on the Saturday afternoon. We will take care of this on your be-

half. This would follow your activities on Saturday morning and allow plenty

time to enjoy your hosts hospitality in the early evening, before heading back to

base for Dinner.

Sunday would then coincide with entry to an existing mini-rugby festival at a

club near to your tour base or on the route home. These club-run events are

organised for the right reasons and are often of a far greater quality than tour-

naments arranged solely for touring teams.

The list of tournaments is enormous, however, we have put together a directo-

ry of existing Mini Rugby Festivals that we feel will be a fantastic addition to

your tour. See Page 8 for more details.

TRAINING with COACHING from THE PROSTRAINING with COACHING from THE PROS

What better highlight of a tour than to see your team put through their paces

by a Premiership Rugby Coach? Clubs like Leicester Tigers & Sale Sharks run

exceptional community programmes that allow for young players to live the

professional life for an afternoon.

While packages vary from club to club, the training session will follow a tour of

the stadium, some giveaways, a Q&A with a 1st XV player or two and finish

with tickets to a Premiership Match.

Prices range from £25-£40 depending on the host club and the package chosen,

but we highly recommend this as a valuable highlight to your mini-rugby tour.

You’ve played your games, you’ve tired yourselves out with late nights and ac-

tivities, what better way to relax and finish off the tour than to take your seat in

one of British Rugby’s iconic stadia and watch the heroes in action?

From Sale Sharks to Leicester Tigers, we are able to arrange match tickets for

your group to a number of Premiership Match fixtures. Prices for Premiership

matches do vary.

We recommend booking early to ensure availability. Click here to see the full

2014/2015 Aviva Premiership schedule or see the Lancashire & Lincolnshire

Pages for the games which tie in with those two tour destinations.

FESTIVAL DIRECTORYFESTIVAL DIRECTORY



YOUR TOUR REPYOUR TOUR REP

When you arrive at your tour location, you will be met off the coach by a group of ex-ceptionally enthusiastic team-leaders.

Throughout your stay, you will have their dedicated attention and commitment to offering you a high quality and fun-filled stay while on tour.

Your team-leader will be your point of contact at the centre throughout the weekend, and they will keep you informed as to your activities, meals and departure times.

The team leaders will also remove all the stresses from being a parent while on tour. Once the kids are in their company, the parents can relax, kick-back and enjoy the tour as much as the children.

“This was the first experience of tour for the boys. They had a great time which was made possible by the PGL staff, the tour planning and our fantastic hosts at Hove RFC

and Worthing RFC. I would thoroughly recommend Sky High Sports.”

IAN THOMPSON, BRENTWOOD RFC U11, SUSSEX TOUR 2014

“The staff were friendly and polite, and our rep Jack was an absolute cracking lad who couldn't do enough for us.”

HANNAH FOUNDS, WIRRAL RFC U11, SHROPSHIRE TOUR 2014

“The PGL staff were without doubt the making of the trip, nothing was to much trouble with activities changed at last minute to suit preference on the day. The group appoint-ed leader 'Ali' not only looked after the boys at the allotted times, he also came back on

duty for a midnight walk so the parents could enjoy a few extra beers!”

STEVE HICKS, OLD RICHIANS RFC U11’s. SHROPSHIRE TOUR 2012

Your JOB AS TOUR CHIEFYour JOB AS TOUR CHIEF As a Party Leader and accompanying adult you have a number

of responsibilities that will assist in ensuring your stay is both

successful and enjoyable.

Previous groups bad-behaviour has resulted in the removal of

two of our more popular locations which is both disappointing

for ourselves but also future groups. We must stress that while

this is a superb tour, it is a Mini Rugby Tour for 6-12 year old

children and families, not an 18-30 holiday destination.

We would like to draw your attention to, and ask for your assis-

tance with, the following areas:

The Party Leader is in loco parentis, and responsible for the control, discipline, behaviour and pastoral care of the group at all times.

A responsible adult from your group is required to attend specific activity sessions to provide additional supervision of waiting participants. Your team-leader will provide further information on this.

At least one responsible adult from your group should be on centre and contactable at all times.

Whilst the Instructors are responsible for the safety of guests during activity sessions, accompanying adults have the ulti-

mate sanction to withdraw any member of the group at any time from activity sessions.

The Duty Staff will support you in supervising the accommo-dation area until an agreed time. After this time the responsi-bility for supervising your group lies with the Party Leader and accompanying adults.

The Party Leader is responsible for notifying parents of any doctor, dentist, hospital visit or other incident affecting a member of your group.

In the unlikely event of a fire or evacuation, we will request all accompanying adults assist with evacuation, role calls and visual checks of persons present at the relevant meeting point.

To assist in the smooth running of the shop we would appre-ciate it if you could accompany your group during their visits.

The Party Leader and accompanying adults are responsible for ensuring that your group adhere to the centre Code of Conduct.

If the behaviour of your touring party is deemed inappropri-ate by our suppliers and results in loss or damage to Sky High Sports future dealings with them, appropriate compensation will be sought and the Rugby Football Union will be informed immediately and instructed to act accordingly.

Our centre in Lincolnshire is spread across 50-acres of stunning grounds surrounding a Grade II Mansion House that is the centre of everything during a stay here.

A recent £5 million investment in accommodation, activity facilities and dining restau-rant has transformed the Lincolnshire venue into one of the most high quality all-in-one centres in the UK.

Built in 2009, 2-6 bedded en-suite wooden lodges will be your accommodation for the weekend, with plenty modern and comfortable rooms for Mum and Dad as well as the players.

The centre boasts a purpose built lake for raft building and kayaking; a fantastic mo-torsports track and reputedly the best Go-Ape style high-ropes course in the country.

Located just an hour from both Nottingham and Leicester, and little over two from Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham and London, the site in the Lincolnshire country-side is accessible for a host of teams across the country.

The Notts, Lincs & Derby region of England is filled with some great traditional Rugby Clubs. Close by, Stamford RFC, Boston RFC , Spalding RFC & Dinnington RFC all run excellent annual mini rugby festivals.

PREMIERSHIP RUGBYPREMIERSHIP RUGBY Why not catch a Leicester Tigers match in the AVIVA Premiership at Welford Road?

In 2015, they host Sale Sharks on 28th February, Exeter Chiefs on 28th March and

London Welsh on 25th April. Tickets & experiences available.

The activities listed in this brochure make up an integral part of a mini-rugby tour with Sky High Sports. They don’t just

keep you busy and fill-time, the are a fantastic way to build confidence, increase team morale, have some fantastic fun

and most of all, tire the kids out so the parents can be free in the evening!

For every activity session booked during the tour, you must pick a wish-list of four activities from the list provided.

From here, we will develop a schedule that allows all tour members, parents included, to enjoy at least two of the cho-

sen activities. Your party will be split into small activity groups ahead of the tour to cut down on faffing-about at the

centre. Once on site and ready to go, the superb centre staff will lead the way. Enjoy!

Abseiling

Got a head for heights? This exhila-

rating activity allows you to scale

down the side of our purpose built

towers leaving you with a great sense

of achievement.

Aeroball

A cross between trampolining and

volleyball! Use the bounce from the

trampoline to stop your opponents

scoring goals whilst trying to score

some yourself. Very energetic!

Ball Sports

Most centres have loads of different

ball sports available – everything from

basketball and volleyball to football

and lacrosse.

BMX

Test your skills and learn some tricks

on our track and try a couple of jumps

as well.

Camp Craft

Build a bivvy and learn to make a

campfire along with other basic sur-

vival skills.

Canoeing

Depending on where you might be,

learn to canoe and kayak on a lake or

on the sea. Challenging and fun, you

can enjoy a combination of games and

instruction. This is a favourite!

Cat Walk

A test of nerve and agility as you take

on a cunningly devised combination of

increasingly difficult balances, climbs

and wires across a high level course.

Challenge Course

A challenge of obstacles to climb over,

crawl under and balance on! Oh and

don’t forget the mud!

Circus Skills

Diabolo, juggling and more – it’s hard-

er than it looks you know!

Climbing

We have challenging indoor and out-

door climbing walls with the reassur-

ance of a safety rope at all times!

Cycle Trail

Some of our centres are located close

to well known cycle trails.

Dragon Boating

Your instructor will helm this 12 seat

dragon boat. You’ll all need to pull

together to make sure your boat wins

the race!

Fencing

Qualified instructors teach you the

basic principles of this Olympic sport

before allowing you to compete by

attempting to outwit your opponent.

Often overlooked in favour of others,

this is certainly work a try.

Giant Swing

Your friends winch you up on a giant

two sweated swing suspended be-

tween a huge timber structure and

you see how high you dare go before

you choose to release the catch and

experience a huge rush as you swing

through the air.

High Ropes Course

A challenge course in the sky! A popu-

lar and exhilarating activity - you will

negotiate the obstacles high up in the

air – you’re secured to a safety rope

but do you dare?

Initiative Exercises

Working in small teams, you will need

to solve puzzles, make decisions and

communicate with each other in order

to complete the task.

Kayaking

Have a splashing time learning to kay-

ak on either a lake, river or the sea,

depending on where you stay.

Low Ropes Course

A series of challenges just off the

ground. Can you make your way

around the course blindfolded with

only your teammates’ instructions to

guide you?




Motorsports

Take control of a quad bike, go-kart or

motorbike and blast your way around

our purpose built tracks. Vehicles vary

at each centre.

Mountain Biking

Ride on some of best, and most un-

used, tracks in the country. Try out

your new abilities on rugged ground,

big climbs and sweeping descents.

Orienteering

A great way to explore our centres!

Working in small groups, develop your

map reading skills to locate control

points. First back wins!

Powerfan®

Experience the exhilaration of free

falling but with a gentle landing! Scale

a 17 metre high wooden pole to make

it to the top then jump from the

platform. You will be attached to a

wire which will land you safely back

on the ground but you might leave

your stomach at the top!

Raft Building

Build your own raft from different

components that will float and steer,

then test it out on the river or lake.

You and your team mates will need to

communicate well to make sure you

don’t end up in the water! This would

be on our wish-list every time. A fan-

tastic team builder!

Rifle Shooting

Lightweight air-rifles are secured to

clamps in our rifle ranges and are used

to develop your concentration, steady

breathing and accuracy.

Sensory Trail

Follow the rope and wait to see what

surprises await you! Oh and you’ll be

blindfolded of course (no peeking!).

Sequoia Scramble

A vertical challenge incorporating

climbing, a scramble net and rope lad-

ders suspended between two trees.

Can you make it to the top and ring

the bell?

Swimming

Supervised by qualified life-guards,

our swimming pools host games and

small team activities.

Trapeze

An individual challenge that requires

determination and courage to climb a

6 metre pole. Then all you need to do

is the final dive for the Trapeze!

Tunnel Trail

Navigate and explore a series of un-

derground tunnels whilst solving prob-

lems and carrying out tasks.

Vertical Challenge

Think ‘Challenge Course’ but going

straight up climbing logs, wires and

rope – can you make it to the top?

Zip Wire

Travelling at high speed, maybe even

through a forest or over a lake, sus-

pended and harnessed from an over-

head cable isn't something forgotten

easily! A truly exhilarating activity

you’ll want to try again and again.

Zorbing

This involves rolling down a hill in a

giant inflatable ball! Zorbing is only

available at the Dorset centre. RAFTBUILDINGRAFTBUILDING

THE CHALLENGE COURSETHE CHALLENGE COURSE

ARCHERYARCHERY

KAYAKINGKAYAKING



GRAND DESIGNS Teams compete by designing and building something using a set of raw materials: e.g. newspaper and tape to build a shelter or high tower; crates, poles and rope to build a chair. Teams can “earn” more material by com-pleting further challenges or forfeits during the activity. SCRAPHEAP CHALLENGE Guests take part in activities and chal-lenges to gain points (cash, points, credits etc.) which can later be ex-changed for scrap – which will be needed to build their device. These devices include something to protect a fragile object when dropped from a height (egg or water balloon), a bridge to support a cup or bucket of water, a boat to transport an object on water, and so on. QUIZ In teams, students are set Q&A-style challenges with lots of interaction and plenty of variety to keep them moti-vated and to maximise their participa-tion. As well as general knowledge, rounds may include dressing up, danc-ing and miming. CASINO NIGHT For older participants, this programme offers a selection of fun, casino-themed games which explore areas such as calculated risk taking, choice, disguised numeracy learning and self discipline.

CLUEDO Based on the murder-mystery board game, the aim is to work out the mur-derer’s identity, the location and the weapon used to commit the staged crime. Staff and adults join the role play as characters around the centre. Participants will be involved in various challenges involving problem solving and investigation. MONOPOLY Based on the well known board game, guests work in teams to move around centre, completing challenges and tasks in order to win Monopoly money so they can buy properties. Challenges include gargle-a-tune, charades and limbo. PASSPORT TO THE WORLD Guests are given a list of national flags to find around centre. Each flag has a question relating to the country, which must be answered correctly before moving on to find the next flag and eventually returning to base. SUMMER FAIR In the style of a traditional Summer Fair, students visit different locations and stalls on-site, play the games – such as Boules, Skittles, Coconut Shy and Splat the Rat - and win points or prizes. AMBUSH A fun outdoor activity based on hide-and-seek but on a much larger scale.

Guests have to work together to plan tactics and lay markers. Bonus points are available for ‘ambushing’ the op-posing team. CAPTURE THE FLAG This is an inclusive, high energy game in which teams work together to cap-ture the opposing team’s flag, whilst avoiding being captured or losing their own. The key to the game is pre-planning, communication and team-work. The team capturing the other team’s flag wins. WACKY RACES Your own Olympics - a collection of fun relay-style team and individual games designed for active participa-tion by all team members. CAMPFIRE Around a suitable campfire setting, the group will learn new songs, play games, take part in challenges, display talents and set - or reflect on - aims and objectives for the week. CENTRE STAGE Small groups plan and rehearse acts to perform “centre stage” which are then judged by “celebrity” judges (teachers, staff or other guests). All children should be included in some way in this event. You may wish to make this part of your pre-travel planning and for chil-dren to plan and rehearse their per-formance.

Following the action packed days on-site, it doesn't finish once Dinner is served. Until 22:00 each evening, the kids can

be entertained and supervised on activity by the magnificent centre staff. As with the day-time activities, please select

three of the options below as preference for your teams evening entertainment.

All these activities will provide fun learning opportunities for all members of your group. Programmes include a mix of

activities with different outcomes and we recommend that you choose one programme for each evening of your stay.

Parents are encouraged to participate with the evening activities. This is a great opportunity for the party to bond as a

group - that is Mum, Dad, Brother & Sister! If it isn’t up your alley, then why not take refuge in the on-site bar? The

Evening Activity of choice for many of our tourists! Don’t go too daft though!

Throughout your tour, the entire party will be treated to full-board treatment.

To be specific, an evening meal will be served on the night of arrival, followed

by breakfast on each morning of the tour. Lunch will be provided either on site

on the first full-day on-site and topped up with some good old rugby-club-grub

after your tour match. The lunch can be re-jigged elsewhere in the itinerary to

fill a gap - a popular choice is lunch immediately following arrival on Friday

afternoon.

Whilst we are not saying the food is that of a Michelin Starred Restaurant, you

will be surprised by the freshness, quality, amount and variety available at each

centre. Each Dining Hall operates like a school canteen. You will be given a

timeslot to enable you all to be seated together - after that, it is simple!

With a big focus on local-produce and healthy eating, breakfast consists of a

good hot and cold buffet with fruit, cereals, juice and some heartier platefuls

available. At Lunch, you can choose from a make-your-own sandwich bar, salad

bar or the cooked meals section which champions Chilli Con Carne, Lasagne,

Fish ‘n’ Chips and the like. Dinner is much the same, with a greater variety of

main meals, soups & desserts on offer.

CLIENT TESTIMONIALSCLIENT TESTIMONIALS

From the first contact with Richie, right through to getting off the bus when we

arrived home, the experience was brilliant. Well managed and organised with

loads to do. We will be recommending the service to other clubs in the area and

hope to travel with you again.

JO THOMAS, CAERPHILLY TIGERS RFC, SHROPSHIRE, APRIL 2014

From the minute our coach driver picked us up at the club we all thoroughly en-

joyed ourselves. It was the boys first tour and they had good fun. Thanks

SAMANTHA COWLING, DISS RFC, LINCOLNSHIRE, APRIL 2014

We had a fantastic time on tour. The room set up when we got there was great,

set away from other groups so we could be a little noisy if we wanted to. The staff

were friendly and polite, and our rep Jack was an absolute cracking lad who could-

n't do enough for us. The Rugby itself the teams we played virtually matched us in

skill which made for some great rugby. The hosting teams were exceptional. Food

at the accommodation was good, no one went hungry. All in all though a fantastic

tour.

HANNAH FOUNDS, WIRRAL RFC, SHROPSHIRE, APRIL 2014

Windmill Hill was a lovely location and a huge improvement from our original site

we were going to in Kent. The boys had a fantastic experience and were looked

after brilliantly by our hosting Rugby clubs.

The raft building was great fun and we had warm sunny weather to make the

weekend even more memorable. The accommodation was perfect for our team

and the boys were able to bond together and enjoy their weekend.

Overall a great time was had by all and winning the trophy on the last day was a

fantastic end to a hard season.

STEVE PRATLEY, ESHER RFC, SUSSEX, MAY 2014

Banbury U14s had a fantastic tour to PGL Osmington Bay, organised by Sky High

Sports. Boys and adults alike enjoyed the PGL activities, and we had a 5-way rugby

tournament at Dorchester, which was very well organised. Really comfortable, new

bedding! Many laughs throughout the weekend... and even the weather was great.

Would strongly recommend.

CLARE WOOD, BANBURY RFC, DORSET, MAY 2014

So many happy faces. I got so many thank yous' for a fantastic time. The PGL cen-

tre and staff were excellent, it was very kind of Peterborough RFC to coincide their

beer festival with our tour, and Dinnington RFC run an excellent Minis Festival.

With our dedicated fund raising we got the cost per head down for a fully catered,

fully transported weekend including the activities. Excellent value and not a hitch.

BRETT LARKE, WYMONDHAM RFC MINI’S TOUR, LINCOLNSHIRE, MAY 2013



Sky High Sports is delighted to work with BLK Sport, one of the most dynamic rugby-specialist apparel brands in the UK. BLK arrived in Europe from Australia with a bang in 2012, and is already the brand of choice for Stade Toulousain, The Ospreys & Connacht. Their range of stash is exceptional, their prices as good as it gets and their bespoke de-sign-your-own facility leads to limitless options. BLK isn’t just a name, it’s an attitude driven by a deliberate and defining insight - that nothing new ever comes from the known; that real innovation, real design and real im-provements in performance come only from operating outside the boundaries of every-thing that’s gone before. This absolute refusal to merely repeat or refine the past but to relentlessly push beyond all limits known, is a philosophy instilled in BLK from its early beginnings as KooGa Aus-tralia. Today that philosophy is reflected in the ground-breaking training gear and performance apparel worn by over 4,000 teams around the world, including national representative sides such as the Manu Samoa Rugby Union, Fiji Rugby Union & USA Rugby.

HOW TO BOOK HOW TO BOOK HOW TO BOOK YOUR MINI RUGBY TOURYOUR MINI RUGBY TOURYOUR MINI RUGBY TOUR Let Sky High Sports take the strain and hassle out of organising your MINIRUGBY TOUR – we will help you construct a tour that is specific to your requirements and tailored to your team. Once you are happy with your tour we will re-quire a deposit of £25 per person within 28 days. Payment can be made by BACS Transfer or Cheque. To help spread the cost, the final balance can then be split over two equal payments. The first will be due 42 days following the de-posit, with the final payment due no later than 42 days prior to the tour. Once we have your deposit you will receive paperwork to complete. This includes:

A detailed booking form specifying all inclusions in the tour package. After reading through our Terms & Condi-tions, please sign and return the booking form. This will form a contract between you and Sky High Sports.

A simple spread sheet that requests the necessary passenger information such as name, date of birth, and existing medical conditions. We will also ask you to tell us about each persons relation to the group. This will enable us to plan the ideal room allocation for your tour party.

An activity preference form. With so many to choose from, we need to know which activities your group would like to enjoy.

A questionnaire that will enable us to arrange the ideal level, number and type of Sporting Fixtures for your team while on tour.

Between the time of booking and departure day, your dedicated tour manager at Sky High Sports will maintain a regu-lar contact to ensure we have the correct information from you, and that you are aware of the development of the tour. Where appropriate, face-to-face meetings will be preferable to achieve this. Then, six weeks ahead of the tour, a full and confirmed itinerary including the key contacts, an hour-by-hour schedule and a detailed guide will be sent to you. At this stage however, subtle changes may be made to the itinerary.
