Wasps Rugby set for new high-performance training base

Wasps Rugby are set for a new high-performance training centre for the start of the 2020/21 season.

The Coventry based club have not had its own training centre since moving to the region in December 2014.

It will be built on a 13-acre site on Stratford Road in Henley-in-Arden with the aim of operating from the site for the start of the 2020/21 season.

The deal will see a new training base for the first-team and Academy set-ups, complete with two grass pitches, an all-weather surface, skills area and gymnasium.

Wasps’ first-team and Academy currently train at Broadstreet Rugby Club and have been in discussions with Old Leamingtonians Rugby Club for several months about potentially creating a training base adjacent to its ground.

The site was previously a sports-focused college and preparatory school, but for the last three years has been run by Warwickshire College Group as a commercial sports centre.
