The 2019 Terrace Rugby Program is well underway and will once again see a large number of boys pulling on the red & black butcher stripe jersey.

The Rugby program is once again committed to offering a safe and well-structured environment with the focus being on participation, enjoyment and the opportunity to learn. In doing so, the program provides boys, coaches and referees with a strong framework for improvement and abundant opportunity to develop the key elements of Rugby.

Holiday tours, camps and clinics

Thanks to all staff, Old Boys and parents for their generous support over the holiday period. The 1^st XV and 2^nd XV teams travelled to Twin Waters for a three-day camp. The Under 15A squad travelled to the North Island of NZ, experiencing all that NZ has to offer on and off the field. The annual holiday clinics at Tennyson were once again a huge success with large numbers of boys in attendance. The holiday period was capped off with a round of games against Nudgee College.  The work over the holidays will lay a solid foundation for us to build from as we head into Term 3 Rugby.

The purpose of the holiday clinic is to prepare the boys for the upcoming GPS Rugby season. During the Clinics all elements of the Smart Rugby and “Confidence in Contact” program was delivered by experienced coaches leading into our trial games against Nudgee College on Saturday 13 July at Tennyson.

Boys who did not participate in the Term 2 Rugby Development Program and did not attend the Holiday Rugby Clinic are required to complete the Smart Rugby and “Confidence in Contact” training during the first two weeks of Term 3 training prior to being eligible to play in Round 2.
