Rugby Clinic: Day Two!

SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY!

That's what we said when got our second day of the rugby clinic underway.  Coach Randall led the boys through another day of drills and games.  We had lots of tackle drills and we had... RAIN!  The boys were happy when the rain came. Playing in the rain and then getting to tackle! It doesn't get any better.

We wrapped up the day with a minis v middle school scrimmage.  So fun.  

Thanks again to Coach Randall Joseph, Josh Inglis, Cam Tibbetts and Shea O'hanlon for coming down and playing rugby with us!

Quick touch rugby. When one team scores, the other team immediately brings it out.

And this is how Vince got stopped.

Passing the ball, but where is he going to take it?

A quick pass and orange is off!

Rugby Clinic: Day 1

Day one of the rugby clinic is in the books! Coach Randall Joseph along with Josh Inglis, Cam Tibbetts and Shea O'hanlon came down and led a group of 30 boys through rugby drills and games.  The kids had a blast and learned a lot.  Coach Randall and his team were fantastic and the boys did well.  It was really a great day.

There are more pictures out there, taken by others, and we will get those up as they come available.

Trashcan Rugby.  The ball was thrown so high it went out of the frame.

Trashcan Rugby. Score!
