Hello,

I am a 13 year old male who played rugby last summer at a non-sports camp as an elective  (30 mins a day, one week). I immediately thought it was a cool game and I am looking for a rugby summer camp near massachusetts where I could  get better at rugby.  

thank you,
Will Simon
Answer -
Mr Simon,

Do you want to move into full contact rugby, or do you want to continue with non-contact rugby for another year?

There are some fairly strong rugby communities in your area.  Where specifically do you live?

Thank you,

Thank you for responding so quickely. I live in Sudbury, Massuchusetts and want to move into full contact rugby.

Answer
Mr Simon,

I assume you went to the 2004 Summer Youth Rugby that was hosted by the Boston Wolfhound RFC.

The only thing that I can find relating to clinic in your area will be the 2005 Summer Youth camp hosted by the Wolfhounds.  All enquiries on Youth Camp 2005 to president@biwrfc.com

In your area, Brines Sporting Goods in Sudbury (15 Concord Road, Sudbury, MA 01776) provides rugby supplies.  They may know something about the local rugby community.
