After the morning briefing there was no hanging around and it was straight into the morning rugby session.

After a short lunch break, the Residential players received their packs; containing | Backpack | Water Bottle | Player Development Workbook | RAF Halton Summer CoacHclass t-shirt | New Kukri London Wasps 2012/2013 playing shirt |
Later in the afternoon the participants were joined by the London Wasps 1st Team Squad who came to RAF Halton to prepare for their upcoming friendly fixture against Benetton Treviso, and meet our Residential CoacHclass players. After watching the professionals train, our CoacHclass players joined the London Wasps Squad for group photographs, autographs and Q&As to benefit from their experience at the top level of the game. We would like to say a massive "thank you" to all our players, coaches and management for supporting this showpiece event
