Rugby Coaching masterclass visits Brambletye!!

On Friday 13th January 2012, Fraser Waters (ex London Wasps and Treviso) and Joe Worsley (ex London Wasps, England, British and Irish Lions) visited Brambletye to pass on their knowledge and skills to the Colts and Senior rugby squads.

Before the coaching sessions, the boys and girls were given an opportunity to ask our visitors some searching questions in Walnut, and it was pleasing to hear so many insightful and well thought through questions.

Up on Top Field, the boys were put through their paces and had some first hand experience of the strength and power required to reach the top level. Both Fraser and Joe were brilliant with the boys and really helped to improve their skills; Mr Lloyd-Edwards could hardly contain his excitement all day and could be seen mingling within the drills!

The Senior squad are now enjoying the ‘King of the Ring’ drill, which is great for developing tenacity and aggression in rucks and mauls; hopefully this will be shown in the results for the remainder of the term!

My thanks go to Fraser and Joe for giving up their time and coming down to coach the boys; it was great to speak with them and the boys thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon. It is hoped that similar sessions will become a regular feature at Brambletye from now on.
