Our first rugby session mixing in some cricket for the team to work on their multi sport skills and general hand / eye coordination. Huge thanks to Paul, Ossy and Ben from the cricket section at our club for taking the time to take our kids through some simple Kwick cricket exercises. Comments from the cricket coaches was that the kids did really well and stood out with their coordination skills and as we all saw there was a few hidden cricket talents amongst our team. That's what we are all about as a team, creating the conditions for our kids to enjoy multiple sports and find enjoyment and personal success from all sorts of different sporting and physical pursuits. All hopefully leading to a life long enjoyment of being active, sport and potentially high performance sport when they get older.

It was also great to see some new faces / return of some old faces in Daniel Smith and Freja Halsius. Hopefully our summer focus on multi sport and general sport and movement skills will attract more kids to come and try our club and the various sporting activities that we offer. Remember if you have got children or know friends children that might not necessarily be that keen on rugby, they can come and try our multi sport activities during the Rugby Summer off season to get a taste for our brand of multi sport and rugby here at Blyth RFC.

Next Saturday is the big annual presentation night, followed by an early start to play our last competitive game of the season when we all travel as a team together to Carlisle to take part in the first annual Carlisle Mini Rugby Festival.
