C2K Rugby Academy

Some more pics for yesterday.

We had a fantastic finale for our final session of this pre season block at Ballymore this morning where we had just under a hundred kids show up almost exclusively from the BNE area. We understand many are not travelling at this point.

However a great session was had by all and special mention to ex C2Kers themselves Xavier Rubens, Tom Howard and Finn Mackay who ran the backs coaching with Brendon Daniel. The feedback was amazing from all involved in the backs division and we are so thankful to the three up and coming Reds players. All three have featured in the Reds recent development games and are exciting to watch with big futures in the game. We love having them down as always.

The session featured a sprint coaching rotation by Ian King and Co which was extremely well received with kids getting pointers on technique to immediately improve speed and agility.

Elsewhere Brad Free ran the 9s whilst Jason Jones, Troy Colley, Micheal Crank Mark Connors and Mark Gabey ran the forwards. This panel are simply magnificent in what they do. Continually preparing our young forwards with the absolute foundational basics to move forward in the game.

We’d like to thank all the parents who brought the kids along,the kids themselves who were so dedicated this block, Julie for the coffee van,Scott and Richard for running the show, all the above fore mentioned coaches for their contributions along with Murray Harley, Pat Howard, Nathan Spooner, Kris Burton, Tom Kibble and co who all featured throughout the block.

A big thank you to those who donated and gave gift cards.

We wish everyone a great season ahead and just remembering today was the FINAL session of this block.
