Coaching Tour 11 is underway.
This weekend we will be in Muhanga for a coaching workshop and the boys league fixture. Next week we will work with the new generation of Rwandan coaches over Mon/Tues/Wed. Our group is hoping to engage the coaches in a "game sense" approach to coaching!!
They will take these new skills back to their communities. Watch this space for the profiles of these rugby coaches and find out who is going to be available to your region.
... Massive congratulations to the Federation for identifying and supporting these guys into the future.

Just wanted to have a big shout out and massive THANKYOU to: Rwanda Rugby Federation (RRF), Dave Hughes, Keith Wallace & the King Penguins and Kamanda Tharcisse (FoRR Program Manager) for all working together and appointing John Livingstone MUHIRE as the Chief Administrator of the RRF.
FoRR is so excited to have the position filled and we are looking forward to the plans starting to coming out of the office.
Great to see the website being rebuilt - apparently there is going t...o be much more coming from the RRF in the next few weeks so please keep going back to their site regularly.

I understand the Federation is going to be planning and publishing all their information on the Federation website and you can leave comments and ideas there for the Chief Admin to curate.
We really need the Presidents of all the clubs to help Livingstone gather contact data. We need to know when games are, when are the training nights, where are the fields you train on? What time does training start. Who should people contact if they want to join your program (youth, male, female leaders email address).
2018 is a new summit for Rwandan rugby. It is time for all of us to come together to grow our sport right cross the nation. Let's try to get double the males and females playing rugby this year!!
Ask the Federation how you can help if you want to volunteer or join a club.
All the best, Deena

Fantastic to see that TTC Mururu’s girls are now getting the rugby bug. This is part of their celebration following their victory in a tournament in Ruhango yesterday.
An absolutely heroic effort from our supporters Mary and Glynn helping FoRR spread the joy of Rugby to children and young people across Rwanda.
