Rip Rugby
As the national sport of New Zealand, rugby is deeply engraved in the culture and is often the staple for the community, regardless of any external factors just about any local has taken part in rugby in some way through their life either as a player, referee, coach or sideline helps. It is truly one of the best ways to be immersed and learn about authentic New Zealand culture.
The Asian community, especially the Chinese community has historically not been able to take advantage of this valuable opportunity and is almost reluctant to try the sport due to assumptions such as strong physical contact and a high ratio of non-Asian players. Therefore, it is key to attempt to overcome these barriers to ensure that Asian people are equally presented within the sport.
This program mainly focuses on providing a more exclusive environment for Asian people who have little prior knowledge of the sport to have a go under the supervision of specialized coaches, with simplified rules and a non-contact version of the sport to teach the fundamentals and the spirit of the sport, increasing their fitness and confidence in this field.
Session 1:
Time: 6:30pm - 8:30pm, Every Wednesday
Venue: Lovelock track, Mt Roskill
Fee: Free
Session 2:
Time: 12pm - 2pm, Every Sunday
Venue: Marist Rugby Club, Albany
