As this was the last class of the first block of 10 weeks I wanted to plan fun sessions. The younger group particularly tend to enjoy kicking so I made that the theme.
I hope everyone enjoyed and learnt something from these first 10 sessions.
Students and parents have already been asking when the next run of classes will start, so it looks like we are in a good position to continue and build after the summer. I want to keep improving the classes and will do my best to think about how to move things forward and improve the overall experience.
On Wednesday 7th a nuber of the students from the older class joined a free event run by coaches visiting from New Zealand and then joined the Japanese Rugby Park Academy class for 30 minutes of touch rugby. Their participation was greatly appreciated.
There are some photos of that session here:
