Outdoor Classes - July 2020

Back in February we heard for the first time about the COVID-19 pandemic that was about to stop the world in its tracks. Since then, T-UK has created a virtual classroom for all the students where they can access pattern information etc..

We have also been doing zoom classes for those who can but we have been very aware that there are some where this isn’t an option.

As such, it was a huge relief to make arrangements with Yarnbury RFC to use one of their pitches for outdoor training sessions.

The sessions will be run as per COVID-19 guidelines and will provide an opportunity to train with friends in a safe outdoor environment.

The first session was on Thursday 2nd July. 5 students up to yellow tag trained on pattern and technical kicking, a process that would follow for the other groups until the situation changes.

Three half an hour sessions were completed with groups of different ability and a good time was had by all.

The weather wasn’t great and the ground was rather wet but it was great to see so many studentsn coming along to give it a go.

These sessions will now continue every Thursday evening until we are back at Priesthorpe Academy, which currently will be on 10th September.

Huge thanks to Yarnbury RFC for helping us out with the training space and also huge thanks for the team who came to support.

If you would like to be included in these sessions moving forwards, please get in touch.

To get the team back together and all training with a smile was, I think the medicine we all needed.
