Kitsilano Rugby Skills & Camps

I had enjoyed Clint’s sessions very much. Not only does he provide great individual feedback, he makes sure that you truly understand the basic concepts of the game with very creative and enjoyable drills. I would highly recommend Clint as a coach for rugby players of any skill level. I specifically like how his drills create pressure and make you think quickly while fatigued, an essential skill for any aspiring high level rugby player. Whether you are just trying to increase your fitness, ball handling skills, or develop your in contact skills, Clint will come bring a creative and challenging drill to target your specific needs. Can’t recommend enough!

I know that I speak not only for myself but for others as well when I say that Clint Lemkus is an extraordinary coach and mentor. I’ve had the opportunity to do one-on-one training with him over the last year and continuously find myself taking the skills he’s taught me into every game. He starts each session by setting the goals and expectations for what you’re hoping to get out of it and pushes all of his students towards achieving their utmost potential. Having been a new player for a well-ranked university team when I first started working with him, he helped me overcome many challenges I faced regarding confidence on the field and I took every tip he provided into my teams practices. Furthermore, I’ve had the chance to play alongside him in multiple touch rugby games and he never fails to take new players under his wing, giving them the lead and guiding them through all of the necessary techniques. Clint Lemkus is an exceptional coach, I’ve progressed significantly as a player under his mentorship and would recommend him to anyone hoping to improve their physical, as well as mental skills required to become a successful rugby player.

Clint at Kitsilano Skills & Camps cultivated a cohesive environment from the onset. He has helped me hone my scrummaging proficiency & general skill set while encouraging me to do so in a creative & fun way. If you're excited about raising your game, I recommend Coach Clint's coaching.

Over the past 4 weeks, I have sent my 16 year old son to this camp for the opportunity to have one on one lessons, with someone with professional rugby experience. We were so impressed with coach Clint's professionality and creativity, creating a space where my son felt comfortable and had fun while seeing great results. Clint's training, developed skills far beyond the field, teaching my son about work ethic, mentality, and how to navigate professional decisions in a rugby career.

Clint has been my coach for 2 years and during that time I have improved leaps and bounds. His trainings are immersive and they focus on developing and mastering specific skills. He is easy to talk to and will advance your general play no matter what level of rugby you are at. All in all, his sessions are intense and tailored to your needs as a rugby player, and if you are looking to get better I recommend getting Clint to be your coach.

Unreal coaching and great sessions that work on all aspects of the game. Would highly recommend to anyone who wants to learn, refine their skills, or simply just get fitter. All ages and all skill levels would get a lot out of these sessions. He makes you pay attention to the small details. In the end, that’s what rugby is all about, making the right decisions under pressure, and when you’re fatigued. He runs great sessions for small groups but can also accommodate larger groups which allows the sessions to be more competitive. He really cares about your development and wants to see you get better. He understands all aspects of the game at an extremely high level and he himself has played at a very high level. I’d highly recommend that you book your first session, you won’t regret it.

Far and away the best rugby training I have had yet. The coaching really focuses on the small details of your game. Well rounded training sessions, from the basics to the more advanced skills of the game. Would definitely recommend for all rugby players from beginners to skilled.

I have thoroughly enjoyed being coached by Clint. Not only has he elevated my scrummaging awareness & proficiency, he’s also enhanced my skill set; passing accuracy, footwork & challenged me to start kicking as a prop. If you wish to improve your scrummaging or skills, Clint’s your guy.
