Whilst its not always possible, we do encourage all the players to have their own rugby balls for practice at home and with their friends. Its a game of Catch, Carry, Pass. Left and Right. We’re doing our best to improve these core skills each week, and alike all skills, the more you do, the better you get.
For those not sure what ball to get, its a size 4, but if you have a 3 from last year , or a 5 around the house, all good too. James Stannard introduced us to the W balls the other week which are pretty good. Big W and Rebel have all got great choices for $10+ if you’re looking.
Put you player’s name on the ball with a Sharpie and bring them down to training
We’ve had some questions about boots. Are soccer boots and rugby boots the same? Does it matter? They are different but it doesn’t matter. Get what you and player want. This ain’t one for over thinking. The Spartans went top war in sandals and whatever they wear, they’ll be a step up from the boots I wore when I was their age!
