Standard Chartered Rugby Development Officers went down to Xingnan Primary School to conduct 2 free “Rugby Starter Programme” sessions on the 26th of March 2013 and 2nd of April 2013.

The sessions were led by Rugby Development Officer(s) Ashraf Nasser and Gaspar Tan and with the help of our SRU Staff Bob Liu, who went down for the sessions at the school.

The Programme was conducted for the Fun Fit students in the school. A total of 28 students, mixture of boys and girls, participated in the 2 session. They were taught on the introduction to tag rugby, passing, catching and game play of tag rugby which they will be applying to in the upcoming Standard Chartered Bank Tag Rugby Carnival on the 26th of April 2013.

We are very grateful and would like to thank both the school, Xingnan Primary School and Mr Syed, teacher in charge, for giving us the opportunity to share the knowledge of rugby to the students.
