Hayes School students gear up to help develop rugby in local schools
Students from Hayes School have successfully completed two rugby courses, Rugby Ready & Tag Rugby. Rugby Ready allowed the students to raise awareness by providing models of good practice, game context, key points for players, coaching tips, referee tips and a self-check test. This then allowed them to obtain a Tag Rugby qualification, which they used to deliver a TAG festival for local primary schools. The course was delivered by Mr T. Martingell from the Tag Rugby Trust (
www.tagrugbytrust.co.uk) assisted by Mr Stamato of Hayes School. Mr Stamato was pleased with the project, “The students are a real credit to the school and now assist with coaching other year groups as part of the Hayes School extracurricular programme.”
