Senior Player's Coach At Sunday's Mini & Youth Sessions

Last Sunday morning, a few of our senior men’s players joined our mini and youth age groups for a special coaching session - and what a fantastic morning it was!

Ethan, Ben, Ed, Matt, and Josh were all on hand to help run drills and share their experience with the younger players. The focus for the sessions was on key fundamentals that mirror the senior squad’s framework. There were lots of catch and pass drills to kick things off, followed by some great work on the attacking breakdown and team shape.

Big thanks to the senior players who were able to join us for these sessions, and we hope all the mini and youth groups had an informative and enjoyable morning of rugby!

We’ll continue to align all parts of the club, supporting players, coaches, volunteers, and parents to make sure Sevenoaks RFC remains a place where rugby thrives and everyone feels part of one connected club.

Please feel free to reach out directly to any of the individuals above for support in their area. And of course, you’re always welcome to contact me at coachajbowman@gmail.com or 07969 053912.
