 | Who Runs SportyCamps? | | | |
 | | | | | | | |
 | | Hi, I'm Hadon Westerby, and I am the Program Director of SportyCamps Ltd. | |
 | | | | | | | |
 | |  | SportyCamps grew out of a seed of an idea in the middle of 2009. I established SportyCamps as a means of providing quality sports camp experiences for young boys and girls. | |
 | | | | | | | |
 | |  | I am an experienced teacher and coach of a variety of sports, to range of ages and abilities. Originally from New Zealand, I completed my Sports Science degree, while playing age group rugby for Otago University and the Otago RFU. | |

 | | | | |
 | | | | | | | | |
 | |  | I then worked in, and managed the Hamilton YMCA before arriving in the UK in 2002. Since then, I have worked as a teacher at St Bede's School, teaching PE, rugby and cricket to school students. In my time there, 3 former students have gone on to play international rugby around the world. This adds to the long list of regional and international players I have worked with and coached in New Zealand. |
 | | | | | | | | |
 | |  | I also worked in New York for 6 months, with Mark Griffin, setting up Play Rugby USA - a charity that teaches rugby to school students in New York, and now across the USA. |
 | | | | | | | | |
 | |  | Currently I coach for the Harlequins rugby academy in Brighton, and for the Sussex U17 side. I am soon to complete my Level III RFU coaching qualifications. |
 | | | | | | | | |
 | |  | Finally, I also work as a referee and as a RFU Coach Educator in the local area. |
 | | | | | | | |
 | | As you can see, I am very experienced in this field, and well qualified to operate SportyCamps. |

 | | About SportyCamps | | | | | |
 | | | | | | | | |
 | |  | SportyCamps is dedicated to providing quality holiday sports camp experiences for youth, and now runs holiday activities in rugby, netball, dance and fitness. More sports and activities are to be added soon to provide a year round solution for sports coaching and instruction. |
 | | | | | | | | |
 | |  | Our enthusiastic and experienced team are continually tweaking the courses and their content so that that each child enjoys the best possible SportyCamp experience, regardless of their age or ability level. |
 | | | | | | | | |
 | |  | Qualified and experienced coaches deliver high quality coaching experiences. Each camp includes new skills, revising core skills, tactical and fitness training with SAQ training also incorporated. All of our programmes are written by experienced coaches and current or past players. |
 | | | | | | | | |
 | |  | Underpinning our interactions with individuals and incorporated into the programs we deliver, are our REACH values. Respect, Enjoyment, Accountability, Cooperation and Health; five things that we think will go a long way to developing positive relationships; both within each individual, and in dealing with others. |
 | | | | | | | | |
 | | We look forward to welcoming both parents and children to all of our camps in 2010. |
 | | | | | | | | |
