Mosborough primary school is holding its annual fun run next week, in the run up the pupils received some training tips from some experienced athletes.
Mosborough RUFC players came down to the school to give their assistance to pupils taking part in the race next Wednesday.
The players had come down to the school to take an extra curriculum rugby session set up by the club. It is part of their expansion into the community project where they ant to bring through rising talent.
John Knight, Mosboroguh RUFC vice captain said:
“It was a great opportunity to come down to the school and teach the kids about rugby. Once we heard about the fun run we wanted to offer some advice because a lot of us are running the Sheffield half marathon soon.”
Both teachers and pupils were thrilled that they were able to help out and give the pupils further advice.
Mosborough RUFC hopes to continue teaching school children in the area about the game of rugby.
Chris Rosling-Josephs is the chair of the governors at the school, after hearing about the opportunity presented by Mosborough RUFC he said:
“It really is great for the kids to be able to see some local athletes who impact the community in a positive way. We hope to continue building our good relationship with the rugby club and hopefully these sessions will become more regular.”
