Pinnakle this year was an amazing experience for Gabriel and for as a parent watching the team (players and coaches) in South Africa. A big Thank you!

Olivier Loicq - Parent

I’m so grateful for all that PinnaKle has done for Conor. It’s developed his skills and confidence in rugby so significantly. I’d highly recommend their programmes to anyone. Quality coaching that focuses on the individual will guarantee improvements in your child’s game.

Matt James - Parent

Thank very much Pieter for having me at pinnakle, you guys have taught me so much to help me grow as a rugby player on and off the pitch and cannot wait to start again next year. The tour was an unforgettable journey and cannot wait to do it all over again.

Stanley Watt - Player

We’ve had a wonderful experience with Pinnakle. The standard of coaching is exceptional and it’s clear how much dedication and care goes into every training session. The coaches are approachable, encouraging and genuinely invested in the players. We’re incredibly appreciative of everything the Pinnakle team has done for our daughter.

Michelle Gordon - Parent

From my experience at PinaKle I would say it’s one of the best things you can sign up for because it helps you improve at rugby and make friends along the way and when I went on tour to South Africa with PinnaKle it was definitely one of the best experiences I’ve ever had I’ve had such a great time with PinnaKle.

Cameron Sinclair - Player

Both of my boys enjoy the training and game opportunities that PinnaKle provides.
The training sessions are well-structured, challenging, and enjoyable, helping players improve their technical ability, game understanding, fitness, and confidence.
