First Day

The Gang's All Here!

The first practice of the season is in the bag.  We did some of the more unusual drills of rugby, like "The Signing Waiver" drill, the "Saying What Your Name Is and What School Your Are From" drill, the rare "Here Is A Sticker" drill and the totally awesome "Here Is Your Ball" drill!

Caden and Ben Practice Passing

After those heavy workouts, we did some more traditional drills. The passing race seemed to go over especially well.  Then we pulled out the flags, split the group into two teams and Coach Paul and Coach Ron ran a scrimmage.  Newcomer Soma scored 5 tries, or something like that.  That kid was going nuts!  Aiden and Solomon got their defense on. Everyone did great.

We wrapped things up with a "Let's See If We Can Get Vince To Yell In Disbelief" drill.  This was a drill for the coaches.  We told the kids that they had to go home, throw the ball in the air above their heads ten times in a row without dropping it.  Vince let out a "WHATTT!!!"   Success!
