After a great coach development session learning about CARDS with BerksRFUDev I’m now trying to remember my favourite playground games to adapt for Sunday’s training.

Under 7s at Reading Rugby Club loved their end of season gift of a new ball each and set of summer challenges. Roll on Under 8’s Reading RFC Minis and Youth BerksRFUDev

Ready to introduce 60 new kids to tag rugby as part of our RRFC schools introduction programme. BerksRFUDev RFU Area 2 Rugby Reading RFC @BerksCRC Reading RFC Minis and Youth Charlie

A great evening at Thatcham Rugby Club for the U8s CPD. Always good to see some familiar faces, meet some new ones and share experiences as we guide our young players through the start of their rugby journey. Kids First Rugby @BerksCRC BerksRFUDev Berkshire County RFU

My lightbulb moment from the U8s CPD last night was to remind us all that rugby is a game of evasion NOT contact. Kids have years of contact let’s teach them the art of evasion early. Kids First Rugby Berkshire County RFU BerksRFUDev @BerksCRC RFU Area 2 Rugby Rhys Davies

A great way to get everyone involved and engaged. I can see this helping develop stronger teams in the future.

Extremely honoured to have been nominated for a regional RFU volunteer award for coaching with Reading Rugby Club. @BerksCRC Reading RFC Rhys Davies Reading RFC Reading RFC Minis and Youth

Last of the RRFC scheduled schools tag rugby inductions finished. Yr 1,2 & 3 this afternoon. I may need the summer break to recover 🤪. Lots of fun had by all. Reading RFC Reading RFC Minis and Youth BerksRFUDev Rhys Davies @BerksCRC

This is how easy it is to help normalize and slowly remove bias from women’s soccer. 👏🏽

Only part way through this but already taken lots of great advice from it. Highly recommended for anyone in coaching or commercial leadership. #sweepthesheds

That was for you, Niki. Your fighting spirit was right there with me every step of the way. I know you are looking down and taking your hat off to us. I miss you, we truly miss you and I hope we did you proud today, legend.

A great afternoon running a rugby agility challenge at a local school fete. It’s amazing how a little bit of friendly competition gets all kids engaged in physical activity. Prizes for the fastest time but everyone left happy BerksRFUDev Reading RFC Minis and Youth Reading RFC

Brand new on running shoes for business trip to LA and stumbled at dodger game ripping the toe. Noooo. OnUK @on_running any tips to patch them up? #runonclouds

A great day spent at the Berkshire coaching conference. Inspirational speakers sharing their experience. Lots to consider and adapt for the Reading U8s this season, can’t wait to get started. @BerksCRC Reading RFC Minis and Youth Reading RFC RussellEarnshaw Whitney Abrahamsen Richard Cheetham MBE

Hi everyone, I have seen loads of people doing the #bottlecapchallange so I thought I would give it a go for Roller Trick Tuesday..... stay awesome everyone..... Ruby X

I can’t quite compute that fact that a 16yr old won 8x more for winning a computer game event than Egan Bernal received as winner of the Tour de France, and double that of ALL tour riders combined. #crazyworld

My boy is excited to show off his tag rugby skills at summer camp today. He was clear that they should understand who his club of choice is🤘🏽Jakpat London Irish Academy

I've written a simple booklet on 'Surviving U7 Rugby' based on my first year with RRFC to help other new coaches. Simple tips and things to consider in your first season, hope it helps. Whitney Abrahamsen RussellEarnshaw @BerksCRC Rhys Davies Reading RFC Minis and Youth yumpu.com/s/3AT9cxWMZK0i…

So IKEA UK managed to live up their terrible service reputation today delivering only part of my order and informing me they need to pick what they delivered up AND deliver a new one, on different trucks. All this and a £10 voucher versus £39 for ‘delivery’. Terrible service.

Has anyone ever managed to get the Foot Locker EU Jordan 1 exclusives? I’ve been trying for over a year and always sold out despite being logged in at release time. Large re-seller sites however seem to have no issues gaining stock of footlocker exclusives. The model is broken
