On Bank Holiday Monday 25th August we welcomed 110 young rugby players aged between 8 and 14 to Community Partner Club High Wycombe RUFC for our 3-Day Summer CoacHclass. Following the success of our 1-Day May Half-Term CoacHclass we once again received fantastic support from the members of High Wycombe RUFC as well as from rugby players from the surrounding area. All of the players arrived enthusiastic about what the 3 days would hold in store for them eager to develop their rugby skills.
CoacHclass Development Officer Russell Bolton said of the CoacHclass, "Our annual Summer CoacHclass at High Wycombe RUFC always proves to be a huge success and this year is no exception with lots of young rugby players local to Adams Park eager to improve their skills and try to emulate their London Wasps heroes. As always we have received great support from the staff at High Wycombe RUFC with special thanks to Don and Min Dickerson and Dave Grigg for ensuring that the CoacHclass ran smoothly. We are already looking forward to working with High Wycombe RUFC in the coming season.'
