Get creative and show off your artistic flair in the YANNI CAMP Pacific Islanders T-Shirt Design Competition! You can use a simple, cheap, white T-shirt as your blank canvas. It’s up to you to bring it to life with colour, pattern, and imagination. Think Fiji, tattoos, tropical sunsets, island vibes, ocean waves, palm trees, and all the magic of the Pacific.

Whether you paint, draw, or add fabric art, this is your chance to let your creativity shine.

Bring the shirt with you on day 2 and we’ll showcase everyone’s masterpieces – and the most inspiring design will win a special prize!

One plain white T-shirt, endless Pacific possibilities.

The YANNI CAMP clinic, reinforces the basic but essential areas and techniques of Rugby and tackling, using the two codes of rugby and other cross coaching methods in a fun and safe environment.  We install confidence in the individual player however old and their team around them to position themselves for safe and healthy tackling and playing positions.

After 30 years of coaching clinics and professional playing Danny Ligairi has determined it’s the finer and smaller points that we must take notice of and aim to improve a player’s confidence in all areas that will not only make them the best player but the complete player.

AIMS:

The aim of the clinic is not based on the numbers of players or activities undertaken but the individuals own progression.  

Yanni Camp is proud to support the U13’s rugby team at Burton. I’m Yan, I’m 12 and I understand how important it is to encourage young players as they learn the game. For many of these kids, rugby builds confidence, teamwork, and resilience. That’s why Yanni Camp wants to provide help that’s not just training, but also raises money for my team’s funds. The camp aims to create a pathway for players to enjoy the sport.

In addition to local support, Yanni Camp also connects to global causes. One of the key projects is the Worldwide Barefoot Project. This initiative collects old rugby kit and redistributes it to communities in need. Many young players around the world do not have the resources to access proper gear. However, through the generosity of others, they can still enjoy the game. Yanni Camp helps by encouraging families, players, and supporters to donate.

Danny is fully experienced with all age groups and he works specifically on an individual basis with each child to reach their personal best.  Each child is paired and works within their own ability, confidence, size and weight.

There will be a special guest to support YANNI CAMP’S work.

  • Plenty of water
  • Lunch and some snacks
  • Gum shield
  • Boots
  • Hat (& rugby mitts too if you have some)
  • Training clothes for the morning
  • Change of training clothes for the afternoon
  • Small towel for hair drying etc.
  • Bag for dirty kit
  • Any medication you might need during the day
  • Money to buy snacks and Yanni Store items

We look forward to welcoming everyone for a fun packed day they will talk about for ages!
