The club's lead coaches, Michael Cheika and Tom Hudson, headline a brand-new Masterclasses offering for the October half-term.

An annual feature in the summer in previous seasons for young, aspiring rugby players, Masterclasses are now also available in-season for youngsters aged from U9s-U18s (girls) and U14s-U18s (boys).

Leading the sessions in October will be Michael Cheika, Tom Hudson and members of their coaching teams as well as players from both the senior men's and women's squads.

Taking place at Mattioli Woods Welford Road, the sessions are tailored towards specific areas of the game to provide the very best opportunity for attendees to maximise their experience.

October 2025 Masterclasses:

Forwards Play | Monday, October 21

Developing the key elements of strong forward play from set piece to open play. The Forwards Play Masterclass will look at developing your core skills and tactical knowledge to help you become effective in position skills around the scrum and lineout, as well as looking at the wider skills of the modern forward as effective ball carriers, link players and defenders.

Backs Play | October 22

Challenging the core skills of catch, pass, kick and run. The Backs Play Masterclass will develop you as a player to be tactically aware and look at how you can utilise these core skills to beat defenders and control the game.

Train with Tigers Women | October 23

Utilising the experience and knowledge of the Leicester Tigers women’s senior squad, including experienced internationals, this Masterclass will give young female players the chance to learn from professional players - including current Red Roses - and develop all aspects of their all-round game to start their journey towards one day appearing in the Test arena.
