A guy that Robert works with is super into Rugby and his son also goes to a small rugby league for young children on Saturday mornings and invited Ethan Jay to come and try it out. He was super excited about it but to be honest, Robert nor I had much information to tell him about what Rugby was! Well no worries, he had a blast and fell right into place! Ethan Jay has not always done so well in group settings so this Momma was a little concerned but he did GREAT!
Ball in hand and ready to go!
The teachers were great! They really did an awesome job of keeping it on the kids levels. Here the kids are chasing after the coaches trying to catch them but trying to only run with holding the ball in one arm (one of the rules in rugby).
And they got him!
A little coaching on some of the rules of rugby.
Practicing another drill.
My little man! So super proud of himself!
They had a couple of drills set up and this was one of them.
Zig-zag through the poles,
Through the ball to one of the coaches and then they through it back,
and run back down the gym to your spot.
This was their closing activity and look at poor Evie Kaye, she desperately wanted to go and do it to!
The coaches called all of the siblings up and the dad's helped out and put all the kids underneath the parachute. Super awesome!
And finally they all sat on the bench as the coaches reviewed a few rules and gave them all a sticker!
I could not have been prouder of Ethan Jay! He did really well with absolutely no foundation and he did such a great job of following instructions and giving it his all! What a great experience!
