First Rugby Lessons

Aaron Michael's friend Tommy plays Rugby at a nearby village.  Aaron has really shown interest in American football recently, but of course it's not something he can do over here.  Tommy's mom said it was Tag Rugby which I thought would be great for him to start out with and what a great opportunity to play Rugby over here.  We talked to him about it and he decided to try it.  The first practice started a little rough because the coach decided he should start off with the smaller kids for a practice or two just to get the basics since he's never played before.  He was really upset over that because he was really looking forward to playing with Tommy.  It ended up being for the best though because he had a lot of confidence being with smaller kids.  He picked up on everything so fast that the coach said the following week he should go with his age group.  The next week went great as well.  I think had he started off with his age group he may have been intimidated.  He really enjoyed both first and second lessons.  We also found out he will be playing in an all day tournament the next weekend.
