Have you got a son with so much energy that you really have no idea how to wear him out? Do you like the idea of him participating in a sport that encourages team work, respect and discipline? Would you like your child to join a growing group of players from schools in and surrounding Crowborough who have fast become great set friends? If you have answered yes to any or all of the above then rugby is the game and the Under 9’s will welcome you to join their squad!
During last season, we had a fantastic set of results, losing by one try in the East Sussex Cup Final to Brighton for the second year running, winning the Hastings Festival and generally playing some great rugby! We are lucky enough to have a very talented set of players and a great squad that has now grown to the high 20’s in number but we are always on the lookout for any new recruits regardless of size, shape, speed and skill. As coaches we will do our best to bring out the best in your children – developing the skills that they already possess and hopefully adding some new ones as well.
Our training sessions will be fun and varied - developing the core rugby skills whilst also working on fitness, bringing in some set moves. This year we move to full contact rugby which will be a big change from the previous years of TAG and we look forward to beginning to see new players come in to their own this season. We train from 10 until 12 every Sunday; these coaching sessions will be intermixed with games and festivals with other local clubs. Our first training session will be on Sunday 4th of September and a list of fixtures can be found on the website. If you are not sure if rugby is something your children will enjoy please just bring them along on the 4th and give it a try – remember Lawrence Dallaglio didn’t take up the game until he was 13 so 7 is certainly not too late!
Hope to see you there on the 4th at 10.00
Regards Andrew, David, Ian, Jonathan, Gareth & Morten
