Kent Sport schools and clubs partnership programme was launched last week with the inaugural Herne Bay and East Kent Coastal School Sports Partnership KS1 Tag-Rugby Festival.
The event took place at the Kent Sport Sports Centre and was organised in partnership with the University of Kent Men’s and Women’s Rugby Club.
Thirteen different infant and primary schools came over to participate in the rugby event which saw students from the University of Kent lead warm up games and skills before refereeing the whole competition. All teams really enjoyed themselves and a great morning was had by all.
The six Kent Rugby Club students have now joined the Introduction to Coaching bursary programme and will have the opportunity to progress their knowledge further through supported and funded places on local courses for coaches and officials.
We would like to thank Laura, Becky, Harry, Matt, Okemdi and Munashe from the University of Kent Rugby Clubs for being such great coaches and officials and for making the event a true success.
