Rugby & Sports Summer Camps @Goole

Children and young people are in for an unforgettable half-term as Goole Vikings join forces with Youth Player Development to bring Game On Goole - a summer holiday sports camp designed to get kids active, learning and loving sport!

Taking place at the Victoria Pleasure Grounds, home of the Vikings, this exciting partnership gives boys and girls aged 6–14 the chance to experience both rugby league and football in a fun, inclusive and energetic environment.

Qualified coaches from both clubs will lead sessions packed with skill development, small-sided games, fun stations and friendly competitions across the three days.

Special Highlights:

• A coaching session from Vikings pro team head coach Scott Taylor, a former England international and Super League winner!

• Player visits during the week

• A special appearance from Vikings club mascot Viktor the Viking

• Final-day mini tournaments and match play

• Trainer of the Day awards

Paid places are available and can be booked via the Goole Vikings box office at: www.buytickets.at/goolevikings

Every child receives a certificate and a FREE ticket to a Vikings home game in the Betfred Championship!

Sessions are tailored by age and ability, making it perfect for beginners, experienced players, and anyone wanting to try a new sport in a supportive setting.

Food is provided for HAF funded participants. Due to ongoing building works at the ground, our kitchen is not in operation. Therefore, pre-prepared lunch packs will be available each day including a sandwich option, baked crisps, a snack and fruit, as well as a bottle of water.

Participants are also able to bring along additional food items if they wish and should all bring along their own drinks bottle to ensure they remain hydrated.

We may be able to accommodate parents and carers supporting their child to access and enjoy our sessions, but please get in touch with us in advance to agree this.
