Haywards Heath College Sports Students Lend A Hand at Rugby Club’s Coaching Event

A group of students have been praised for helping out at a rugby coaching event for primary school children at Haywards Heath RFC.

Year 1 Double Sports students visited the club last week to support the event for year five primary schoolchildren from schools in the local area.

Working alongside the club’s coaches, the students helped deliver a series of engaging rugby drills designed to develop the children’s skills, confidence and enjoyment of the game.

They also took on the responsibility of refereeing small-sided tag rugby matches, helping the young players put their skills into practise in a fun and supportive environment.

Throughout the event, the college students demonstrated excellent leadership, communication and coaching abilities. They encouraged participation, supported the younger players and helped ensure the activities ran smoothly.

Tom Wood, Lecturer in Sport at Haywards Heath College, said: “Their enthusiasm, professionalism and commitment were evident throughout the day, and they represented Haywards Heath College exceptionally well.

“The event provided a valuable opportunity for the students to develop their own practical coaching experience while making a positive contribution to the local community.”
