Informational Session on Rugby Techniques
High school and middle school football coaches located near Houston – the site of the first Americas Rugby Championship match featuring the United States and Argentina – are invited to attend an informational session on rugby techniques, USA Rugby announced Monday.
In a half-hour space prior to kickoff at BBVA Compass Stadium Saturday, Feb. 6, USA Rugby and Rugby Texas representatives will provide an overview of the laws and strategies of the game of rugby, specifically delving into the tackling aspects. Furthering the partnership that began in Indiana last fall, USA Rugby intends to help educate those in the sport of football on more efficient and safer ways to tackle in contact sports.
