  • International Honours

Rugby at Hampton is renowned for its excellent standards and continues to encourage our boys to become the best that they can be through conviction and personal endeavour. By allowing each pupil to develop his own individual talents and skills, within a team environment, we aim to promote a desire to succeed that is formed through a selfless approach to hard work and understanding of an individual’s role within a team.

We have a strong emphasis on developing the core skills of the game while encouraging every boy and every team to play to their highest standards. Those who are most able will be selected for more intensive coaching, with many being selected for representative programmes at county, regional and premiership rugby academies, and many former pupils have gained international honours through this pathway.

By maintaining the proud traditions of the School and the game of Rugby Union, players will be encouraged to develop within an and enjoyable and positive environment that challenges individual skill and desire but also team work and trust in those who work alongside you.

Every boy is given the opportunity to improve and develop within a positive and challenging environment.

Each junior year group trains at least twice a week. These sessions allow the boys to prepare for their regular fixtures without overtraining them, or over-committing them, in what is a busy school. All players receive coaching from Senior Coaches and the Director of Rugby, who are all current RFU level 3 qualified. The boys also benefit from specialist coaching from current and former Internationals and rugby professionals.

From U14, players also benefit from regular sessions with our dedicated Strength and Conditioning Coach. These prepare boys for the physical demands of the sport, while also helping with injury prevention. In the senior age groups, boys have the choice to select a more ‘elite’ pathway, including dedicated video analysis, individual athlete monitoring and performance based training.  All pupils have continuous access to both medical and physiotherapy support, thanks to our relationship with Physio & More.

A significant number of our boys play for Middlesex or Surrey county age-group teams, while others are involved with junior academies at London Irish and Harlequins. The School maintains strong links with both academies.

Facilities

Hampton School has a IRB certified, all-weather 3G pitch alongside our home playing fields. The School also has use of pitches at London Irish RFC and Twickenham RFC.

The School regularly fields sixteen sides across the age groups, with teams playing on Saturdays in a competitive ‘block’ fixture list and in various cup competitions.

Hampton enters and regularly enjoys success in the Middlesex and Surrey County tournaments, as well as the Schools Cup, at U18 and U15 level and the St Joseph’s College National Schools Rugby Festival.

In the spring term, the School competes in a number of leading Sevens competitions. Four age groups enter the HSBC National Rosslyn Park Sevens at the end of the rugby season.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          

 

 

The senior squad has enjoyed several international tours in recent years visiting South Africa, New Zealand, Fiji, South America, Canada and the USA. These tours give the boys a chance to not only play against sides from all over the world, with each country offering its own set of unique challenges, but also to experience some of the cultural and adventure based activities that these destinations have to offer.

Tours closer to home for the younger teams include an annual pre-season training camp in France for the U15s and a biennial U12 and U13 tour to the Netherlands, as well as various UK destinations.
