Adopt a School PDF Print
With the TAG Rugby Adopt a School Programme we are attempting in a small way to get children off the streets and away from the ills they are confronted with on a daily basis to enjoy sport with other children

Champions aren’t made in gyms. Champions are made from something they have deep inside of them – a desire, a dream, a vision…. they have to have the skill and the will. But the will must be stronger than the skill.

By using Tag Rugby (which requires no infrastructure and rugby experience) the learners in under-privileged areas with no facilities enjoy the feeling of running with a ball in their hands and having fun with their peers. We also recognise the need for both sexes to play sport together. To this end Tag Rugby can be played by boys and girls. As there is no contact in Tag Rugby the fear of injury is removed from the game. This we have found is extremely important especially in those areas where the children are of a slighter build.

In this programme a Corporate Company Adopts a School in their immediate area or a school that most of their workforces children would go to. In many instances, especially regarding Sport, the donated resources are often stolen, lost or put into a cupboard and forgotten about.
