Year 9 2013/14 day one

The new Everett year 9 group capped off a busy first day at Shiplake by honing their rugby skills, yesterday.


Beginning with some simple passing techniques with Everett Tutor Mr Cottrell, the boys began training for their assault on the junior house rugby trophy! 


It was pleasing to see the group bond together so well and it looks like we have a group of keen rugby players, with some boys catching the eyes of the U14A and B coaches. 



Running the lines with Mr Rowlinson...


and some offloading with new Everett visiting tutor, Mr Miller. 

After an introduction to Everett and beginning a carousel of activities, the boys joined the Welsh House year 9s in an organised volleyball game in the pool and the boarders chilled by watching a DVD later with a can of coke and a mars bar (thanks to Mr Lawson).  


Well done to the boys for getting through their first day and I hope they enjoy the rest of the week!
