Josh ‘in’ around

Our club development officer Josh has restarted his school sessions.  Here’s what he’s been up to :-

“This was the first couple weeks of rugby within primary schools in both cornbank and sacred heart with well over 100 kids, where we built on what we did last year – working on hand eye co-ordination and understanding the basics.

We also have now started the new school of rugby sessions at beeslack high school where we had a number of sessions for s1-s3.  In these sessions we focused on the basics of rugby with a key focus being decision making and finding space, we did this by using world rugbys new T1 touch which is great for understanding the laws of rugby union.

We have received a decent reception for rugby with people interested in coming to the youth training at the club.”

Next week Josh will be in and around Cornbank Primary & Sacred Heart Primary school for a 4 block session.
