The programme has given an introduction to tag rugby in primary schools that may not have normally taken place, “Instilling a love for the game in young people which as a club Henley RFC can provide an exit pathway. Plus, establishing Henley RFC as the community rugby club of choice amongst local schools, parents and children.

I wanted to let you know how much we at Shiplake have enjoyed the rugby coaching since September. Andy has been fantastic, the children have thoroughly benefited by having him coming in each week and I believe it has resulted in a good few of our children going along to Henley Hawks. He had a lovely, gentle way of talking to and encouraging them all and I am sure they will miss him in January. Please tell him how grateful we are to have been involved in his sessions. We really hope we will have a chance to repeat the experience next September to December.

Great relationships with the kids as always. Very popular lunchtime club, well attended, great coaching. Tournament and excellent day out for the children – great competition, well organised and a fab result.

Your coaches were great and interacted well with the children, and the activities were just right. Our children loved playing the matches and enjoyed seeing friends from other schools.

These tournaments are just fantastic and the children absolutely love them. Our sincere thanks to your team for all their hard work and enthusiasm.

I know I say this every time but… we really do appreciate all that goes into running these events. It really is about opportunities for children to participate in sport, to participate against other schools and to learn and develop new skills.
