Standard Chartered Rugby Development Officers conducted a free Rugby Starter Programme, TAG Rugby, for the students from First Toa Payoh Primary on 11th and 18th April 2013.
The sessions were lead by Standard Chartered Rugby Development Officers; Gaspar Tan, Ashraf Nasser, and with the help of current national player Hisham Khalid.
A total of 43 students, mixture of boys and girls, participated in both sessions. The Programme was conducted for the Fun Fit students in the school. They were taught on introduction to TAG rugby; ball familiarization, passing and catching, attacking / defending, and the game 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 the school and teacher in charge, Mr Joel for giving us the opportunity to run the programme.
