Rhinos Roundup

The final weekend Rhinos session of September could have been mistaken for a summers day considering the sunshine that graced the grounds in Rathcooney. Some parents took the opportunity to walk the perimeter of the pitches, but all of the action was on the pitches as the Rhinos continued their training in preparation for fixtures in October.

Here's the roundup from the groups:

Minis Girls

The girls braved the elements on Tuesday evening on the Astro. It poured rain from start to finish, but there were no complaints. The focus of the session was on catch pass skills with extra emphasis on communication between each other. They warmed up in small groups passing the ball to each other whilst moving within the square. They then played a game of end ball where the rules were changing to keep them on their toes. They were introduced to tackling and how to fall safely and finished with a game and a quick game of rugby rounders.

Under 6's and Under 7's

U6/U7 had a great time today learning passing and evasion. Played some fun games to help with these skills like stuck in the mud, roller bulldog, 4v4 and a match. Great fun had by all.

Under 8s
