Rookie Rugby hits Greensboro
Triad Youth Rugby has established 2 Rookie Rugby Programs this Fall.
1)Northern Guilford Elementary
Coach Norm Wilhelm in conjunction with the PTA has launched a club played within school time. There are 4 teams of 8 players having a great time.The Club is way oversubscribed.
They have been ably supported by the players and coaches of UNCG rugby.
The club runs for 6 weeks in the Fall and 6 weeks in the Spring.
2) Kernodle Middle School - Greensboro
The coaches for TYRA have been running rugby classes for these middle school students. They spend the whole day in the school running all the PE classes with a basic introduction to Rookie Rugby. The game has been introduced to over 200 students. Emphasis is on fun, fitness and delivering the message that RUGBY IS A GREAT AMERICAN SPORT!
Partnerships with colleges
CYR is delighted to announce partherships with the players and coaches of UNCG Rugby and Wake Forest Rugby Clubs. These great organisations are providing clinics and support for the youth rugby projects in the region.
