The boys had their first "game" of Rippa Rugby today. I was sooo nervous for them .. but they were better than I thought getting involved ..
It was a tryout type of thing to lead them in to it ..
Cam was REALLY in to it and was very confident .. got in there and played 3 full games (of half an hour each) .. and was quite a staunch little mite!
Michael wasn't too keen at first as was a bit shy of not knowing the kids .. but played in the 2nd half of the first game .. and then the first half of the second game (where he even got a try!!!) .. he wasn't too keen playing in the rain as it got harder and I think he was finding it hard with his glasses getting wet .. (so we are going to have a few practise games at home with his glasses off to see how he goes) .. he sat out the 3rd game when both teams combined and they had 14 aside (they played 7 aside for the others).
They are in the T "black" team. Chris is assistant coach and so he was "helping" on field for the first 2 games .. and I think he and the coach did just as much running as the kids .. heh heh ..
Cam is keen to play again next week and told us he didn't want to stop coz it was cool... think we'll have to see whether Michael will play .. but hopefully he'll give it a go ..as he gets more confident with the other kids.
It's good too as it's pretty relaxed and they all have a turn with the ball and basically have a run around ...
