Transition Year Rugby Programme In Waterpark

Munster Rugby recently ran a Transition Year Rugby programme in Waterpark College, Waterford.

The programme educates students on how to plan and deliver a rugby coaching session for primary school pupils.

The students were educated on generic and practical coaching. This incorporated teaching skills, planning and preparing a rugby session, basic rugby development initiatives and key factor analysis in the core skills of rugby.

The programme culminated with a rugby fun day for pupils from Waterpark National school (below) which the TY students ran with help from the primary school teachers.

This allowed the students to put the skills they had learned into practice and the day proved very enjoyable for everyone involved.

Munster Rugby would like to thank the students and teachers of Waterpark College and Waterpark National School for their participation in the programme.
