Girls Rugby Clinic

Rebels Girls Sports Clinic

On the 14th of September Sam Homewood the Rebels Rugby female game development officer and her staff took our girls for a rugby clinic. After the disappointment of our girls not being able to make the state tournament this year, it was great to have the Rebels development officers come down and share their knowledge and passion for the game. Everyone really enjoyed it. The following student’s thoughts were reflective of the general feedback I received about the clinic:

Cathy Ioane-Blake (u16 player)

(It was) …very good…the demonstration’s... and the games …helped me practice the basics…(when we) split up into the two groups practicing scoring tries(I really enjoyed it)…(Sam and her staff) they were good at explaining what to do…it was good and they were descriptive…

Angel Mulu- Jessop (U18 player)

It was really fun… they taught you actual tackling stuff…they were really supportive if you don’t understand…they were very understanding and would take it down if you didn’t understand it…they made it a happy environment… it was spacious and we always moved around we were not stuck in one spot… (I liked it because) it’s all fun and games…

Our girls have always been very talented and with more work our u14s will follow in the footsteps of our strong 2016 u16 girls who almost upset the State sports academy. Rugby is a tough game played by our brave young people.
