The International Junior Rugby Festival at Disneyland® Paris Now in its 14th year, The International Junior Rugby Festival at Disneyland® Paris is firmly established as a major event in the junior rugby calendar, attracting teams of all ages and abilities from across all the Home Nations, France, Belgium and even from Australia! The Festival is open to boys teams of all ability levels at Under 13, Under 14 and Under 15 age groups. Sport Experiences delivers the ultimate festival experience for junior teams and staying at Disneyland® Paris ensures that outside of the time devoted to rugby, everyone enjoys a full and fun-packed itinerary.
The Festival Schedule
Disney Accommodation Disney’s Davy Crockett Ranch offers cabin-style accommodation that is ideal for junior sports teams. The spacious twobedroom bungalow cabins all have two bathrooms, a kitchen, and living/dining room with colour television and telephone. The bedrooms have one double and three or four single beds, and can therefore accommodate up to six people*. The Ranch also has a large indoor swimming pool. ©Disney
Day One You will be picked up from your school or club this morning for the journey to Disneyland® Paris. On arrival, our Festival managers will check you into your accommodation and you will then have the remainder of the evening free to settle in.
Day Two This morning we will commence the International Junior Rugby Tournament matches which will take place throughout the morning and early afternoon. At this pool stage of the Tournament, teams compete to determine their place in either The International Cup or Shield Competition Playoffs and Finals. The remainder of the afternoon and evening are then free to enjoy Disneyland® Park and Walt Disney Studios® Park. All attendees of the International Junior Rugby Festival have a three day Hopper Ticket that will provide them with unlimited access to both Disneyland® Park and Walt Disney Studios® Park on Days Two, Three and Four of the Festival. Therefore outside of the time devoted to rugby, everyone is free to enjoy both Disney® Parks, ensuring a packed itinerary throughout your time away.
Day Three Today players and coaches will take part in our exclusive coaching clinics and masterclasses, delivered by our team of experienced coaches and international players. The specialist sessions will promote and develop both team and individual player skills. By spending time with each team and players individually it is possible to deliver bespoke and innovative sessions that build on their current ability levels and lay the foundations for future development.

Team coaches are also encouraged to interact with the coaches and international players and to participate in the clinics and masterclasses.

There will then once again be free time during the late afternoon and evening for everyone to enjoy the Disney® Parks.
Day Four The International Cup and Shield Competition Play-offs and Finals will be played today, taking place during the morning and early afternoon. Traditionally competitive and featuring a high standard of rugby, they also enable players to put into practise the knowledge and skills picked up during the coaching clinics and masterclasses.

Tournament Age Groups Under 15s – 15-a-side
Under 14s – 15-a-side
Festival Age Group Rugby Tournaments The Festival has been organised to be suitable for a range of junior age groups and abilities. There will be both The International Cup and Shield Competition for each age group to ensure teams are closely matched and to provide a competitive, safe and enjoyable experience for all involved. Furthermore, as a professionally organised tournament, the International Junior Rugby Tournament will allow young players to enjoy and benefit from their matches being officiated by experienced, qualified referees. Every team will play Tournament matches on 2 days. On Day Two of the Festival, teams will participate in the Pool matches, which will then determine the teams’ participation in either the International Cup or Shield Competition on Day Four. The Play-offs and Finals for both the International Cup and Shield Competition in each age group will then be played on Day Four of the Festival. The Tournament is open to boys teams at Under 13, Under 14 and Under 15 age groups. All matches are played in accordance with age-group laws. A full copy of the Tournament rules will be distributed to all teams prior to the Festival.
Under 13s – 13-a-side
Coaching Clinics & Masterclasses The clinics and masterclasses are delivered in partnership with Paul Turner Sport. Paul, a former Welsh International, has enjoyed great success both as a player and coach in the English Premiership and Celtic League over the past 20 seasons. As a result of his time at the top level of the game, and the great respect in which he is held, Paul will be supported by an outstanding coaching team of highly experienced coaches and players at the Festival. International players who have led masterclasses in previous years include Jamie Roberts, George Chuter, Louis Deacon, Luke Charteris, Andy Gomarsall, Scott Quinnell and Zinzan Brooke. Paul and his coaching team will be delivering up-to-date skills sessions, both ‘Core’ and ‘Technical’, as well as introducing ‘Games for Understanding’, that enable young players to understand the different kinds of situations they find themselves in on the rugby field and then how to ’read’ or ‘react’ to those situations for the benefit of their team. The coaching team will focus on ‘GfU’ immediately after each skills session, so the players learn the rugby knowledge of ‘Where’ ‘When’ and ‘Why’ on the rugby field.
