Rugby in Cebu Continues to Grow

Last Sunday March 18,2012 was the first Touch Rugby Tournament that was held in UC-IMEC Mambaling where more than 200 cadets participated in. There were 19 teams of 10 players each and the tournament used a single elimination format (knock-out or play-off style). Girls from the Cebu Lady Dragons and some guys from the Cebu Dragons Club (who weren't in Manila that weekend for the Manila 10's tournament) were there to serve as referees, touch judges and coaches for the cadets.  
      

One of the projects of VisMin Rugby Football Union is to develop grassroots rugby in Cebu and the Club has been holding a couple of touch rugby clinics in the school for quite sometime now . This tournament is the culmination of this four-month program.

Meanwhile, the twice-a-month Touch Rugby Football Clinic continues at The Sandtrap that afternoon with more and more new faces showing up. 


Good job to the guys and ladies of Cebu Dragons Rugby Club for there endless efforts to promote love for Rugby in Cebu!

Touch Rugby Football Clinic Held at The Sandtrap

Last Sunday, the girls of Cebu Lady Dragons along with a few guys from the Dragons Rugby teamed up in coaching kids and young adults the basics of touch rugby. This has been a project of the team for over a year now as a way to promote the sport as well as designed to recruit more players for the Club. 


A diverse group of more than 25 people came in to join last Sunday's clinic. Participants ranged from (barefooted!) out-of-school kids, kids from a nearby international school (where a one-a-week Rugby program has just been introduced), and a few young girls and guys vying to join the Club for good.


The day ended with a short touch rugby scrimmage for all the newbies. The Club will be holding a regular twice-a-month session of rugby clinics at The Sandtrap. The Clinic is free and open to everyone willing to learn the sport.
