Coaching MRGS U15A Rugby

This year Michael and I (Sagele Palaamo) have been coaching the Mount Roskill Grammar under 15 A grade rugby team, every Tuesday and Thursday after school and then games on Saturday. Coaching has been good experience  working with the U15 boys. We had a good preseason but then I think the boys got a shock when the season started in A grade (contestably the highest quality U15 grade in the world) but I think the boys have done well being their first time in A grade rugby. It is also the first time Mount Roskill Grammar School have had a team in a rugby A Grade in 10 years. I have learnt a lot as the season has gone on. Looking back from the beginning of the season to where they are now, the main core group of boys have really grown, and I can see that they are learning and willing to take on board what we are coaching them. Sagele Palaamo – Student Youth Worker
