St Nicholas

Something from

Florence:

“It doesn’t matter if you’re small or large, short or tall. Rugby is for anybody!”

Florence had never taken part in rugby before Bath Rugby Foundation joined with Maddy’s Mark and brought fun and engaging sessions to St Nicholas’s Primary School in Radstock.

Florence really enjoyed being part of a team. Hearing them cheering her on gave her such a confidence boost and made her feel supported. She knows that she isn’t a very fast runner, but rugby made her realise that you don’t have to be fast to run well. Florence found out that she had very good footwork, as she could use this to get round defenders.  “One of my favourite parts of the Maddy’s Mark sessions was when I scored a try. Scoring tries makes me feel proud of myself.” 

Florence was very excited to take part in the Maddy’s Mark Touch Tournament because she wanted to meet other girls’ teams, so she could make more friends.

I want to say Thank you to Maddy’s Mark and Bath Rugby Foundation, because if you hadn’t provided me with this opportunity, I probably would never have tried rugby and wouldn’t know how I felt about the sport. I enjoyed it.
