Each of the ACE Directors has taken time to introduce themselves and their backgrounds in sports.
Meet, ACE, Team, Andrew, Adam, Richard.
ACE was a concept the 3 directors came up with back in 2020 when we saw problems in the Summer Camp market for parents and kids.
The first is that most summer camps don't start until 9:30 and not finishing later than 2. The second is limitations to kids' experiences at Summer Camps with the majority of them being regimented by timetables of "what needs to be covered" by coaches rather than what the kids enjoy playing as well as being limited by their associated sport (Rugby camps, tennis camps etc.).
With this in mind, we put together the initial concept of ACE and for the last three years are actively evolving to make sure the experience is enjoyable for all the kids that come to any of our camps and parents are assured that they are in the best care possible.
Please take time to read about each of our directors, who along with additional staff run each ACE Camp to the best possible standard!
