Rugby fun in PE classes! 🏉

Schalmont High School students learned the fundamentals of rugby last week thanks to Rugby NY, a group that helps introduce the sport to youths by visiting gym classes.

Rugby NY has visited Schalmont for four straight years, teaching our students the rules of non-contact rugby and leading them through drills and scrimmages. The group also donated rugby equipment to the school for our students to use.

While some of the rules – like no forward passes – took some time to get used to, our Sabres certainly had fun trying a new sport on some beautiful fall afternoons last week.

Thank you Rugby NY for creating this opportunity for our students!
