St. Andrews | Scotland

Our newest pre-season venue for 2020/21

St. Andrews

The picturesque medieval coastal town, northeast of Edinburgh is home to one of the most prestigious Universities in the UK. 

The sports facilities at the University of St Andrews far exceed their modest sporting reputation & match any campus facility we’ve seen in the UK. The peaceful & charming nature of the town makes it a relaxed haven to concentrate on the job at hand.

Your players will fall-out of their uni-beds onto the immaculately manicured Rugby Pitches, into the state of the art S&C Suite packed with Olympic Platforms, Squat Racks & wide range of free weights and CV machines. Nearby, the vast West Sands beach offers further facilities & the sea of course is an ideal tonic for recovery.
