Tosh Askew

Former Head of PE at an Independent School, Tosh coordinated rugby and skiing tours on many occasions so he knows exactly what schools want from a tour abroad. Since the year 2000 Tosh has been involved in professional rugby, but very much focused on younger players and their development working with England U19s, Loughborough University and Leicester Tigers Academy.

Tosh is available to come into your school or club for a pre-tour training session. He can even accompany you on tour. Tosh has been coaching in Italy for 3 years so is well placed to provide on location rugby training and ensure that any tour is a great success.

"One of the greatest development tools for all these groups was to experience different cultures and ways of living. To see how rugby is perceived and played in different parts of the world is truly enlightening. Some of the best sporting and social memories that I have are from when on tour. To challenge yourself as a teacher, and as a group, with new experiences, is a sure way of testing your development potential."
