The Y4 children who took part received 4 on hour sessions of TAG Rugby and one visit from Warburtons as part of promoting Healthy Living and raising Physical Activity.
On Wednesday 29th January, 8 schools took part in the TAG rugby festival, they were:
Tywyn
Sandfields
Traethmelyn
Awel Y Mor
Eastern
Coed Hirwaun
Central
Cwmafan
With over 200 children taking part it was an excellent event with children contentiously playing sport for over 2 hours. Part of the element of the program is to offer development of rugby through TAG to promote awareness of rugby it hope that children will join local clubs. Also, the program offers development for the Wizards League and helps teachers identify talent for the future.
It was great to see the smiles on the children's faces as they enjoyed getting out of schools and getting some exercise. It is easy to play sport within school in the comfort of knowing who you are playing against. At the festival, the children are able to express skills against other schools and this encourages team work and determination.
The festival could not have been run without TATA Steel's influence and willingness to help out within the community via supporting this project. Also, thanks to Liam Evans and Mike Dyer of the WRU who also helped organise and facilitate referees for the day.
Many people collaborating to make Port Talbot a stronger place for the future. More pictures can be found here
