Tor Bridge Family Y5/6 Tag Rugby 2024

Thursday 25^th April 2024 – This afternoon, 4 of our Sports Leaders from Tor Bridge High hosted 4 Primary schools (6 teams) for our annual Tor Bridge Family Y5/6 Tag Rugby festival. Teams from St. Matthew’s, Bickleigh Down, Leigham and Montpelier, came along to take part in our non-competitive, coaching festival. Today’s focus was not on winning at all but on helping the children to develop their Tag Rugby and teamwork skills. Through game play, we were able to offer tips and coaching to iron out any wrinkles ahead of the main PSSP Tag Rugby event coming up later in the term. In particular, the rule of carrying the ball with two hands definitely caught a few players out – something to work on back in practice maybe. Thank you to the sports leaders who did a great job of refereeing and thank you to the teachers  and staff for bringing their teams along. I really enjoyed this event and the chance to coach some already well-drilled teams ahead of their big competition – I hope you did too. Best of luck with the main event – I am sure you are going to do great!
