🏉 Introducing Tim's Corner 🏉

We're excited to launch a new weekly series dedicated to helping coaches, players, referees, volunteers, and club administrators develop their knowledge and grow the game.

Each week we'll share:
✅ Coaching tips and session ideas
✅ Game development insights
✅ Club and volunteer support resources
✅ Referee and match-day considerations

Our goal is simple: provide practical information that can be taken back to your team, club, or rugby environment.

What topic would you like us to cover next? Let us know in the comments.

This week - Junior Score Blowouts
Junior rugby is all about kids getting out onto the field and having fun. It is very important that we keep the competitive spirits in check and keep games as even as possible to ensure everyone if enjoying themselves!
If you notice a game Year 7/8 and below having too much one-way traffic, here are some things that can be changed:
- Swapping players with the other team
- playing your players in a new position
- allowing players to only take 10 steps before they must pass the ball
These steps can help to even out the games and make it more enjoyable for everyone!

There have been plenty of milestone games this season, but 200 games is something pretty special.

Huge congratulations to Digby Heard on bringing up his 200th game for Hurunui Rugby Club today, a massive achievement and a true reflection of loyalty and commitment.

Well done Digby!
