On behalf of King’s College School, Wimbledon I would like to thank Aaron James and the University of Bath for allowing us to use their facilities for our preseason training camp. The facilities are second to none, the pitches were of high standard, the gym and cardio vascular suite coupled with the hydrotherapy centre provided the players with first hand experience of best practice in elite sport.  Aside from the Rugby the food and accommodation was perfect for our needs.  James Clark | Deputy Director of Sport | King’s College School Wimbledon
