WE ARE BACK – Week 2

2020 WAIRARAPA BUSH CLUB SEASON

What a great start to the beginning of the rugby season. Close games and some wonderful tries. Congratulations to Wairarapa College for securing their place again in the Wellington 1st XV Premiership competition for 2020.

This week’s games again will highlight how close this competition is going to be. The one major feedback from last weekend was how big the crowds were and more importantly, how respectful of the referees and the opposition supporters. Well done.

Rugby, more than just a game.

📢 “Hey Coach, can we just play a game?” Sound familiar?
Our youth are voting with their feet and leaving our game to take on more engaging pastimes and sports. They don’t want to turn up to training only to stand in queues doing drill after drill. They want to have fun, be inspired and ultimately get better at rugby. The Wairarapa Bush Rugby Union will be joined by Kyle McLean (founder of ‘Thriving Kiwi Coaches’) for this Game-Based Coaching course.📅 Sunday 12th July
⌚ 12.00pm
🏉 Memorial Park, Masterton

The practical coaching course will help our coaches build confidence and competence to deliver a relevant coaching experience to our youth that will ultimately:
👉 Engage our players – learn through play
👉Accelerate Development and Performance – both individually and as a team

What the course will cover:
👉 Practical Game-based training ideas
👉 A process to design relevant games.
👉 Whatever else our coaches want.

Don’t miss out on this one off opportunity.
