Welcome to the world of Yate Rugby Academy’s Under 7s, where the magic of rugby begins, and lifelong friendships are formed! We are thrilled to introduce Tim Keyte, our dedicated and passionate Under 7s coach. Tim brings enthusiasm, energy, and a deep love for the game, making him the perfect guide for our youngest players as they take their first steps into the world of rugby.
Why Yate? A Community Legacy
For Tim Keyte, Yate isn’t just a place; it’s home. Growing up in this vibrant community, Tim has always felt a strong connection to Yate Rugby Academy. Now, as a coach, he sees it as his turn to give back. "Yate is the community where I grew up, and this club is all about community. It's time to give back," he says with pride. Tim’s commitment to Yate Rugby Academy is a testament to the strong bonds that make our club a true family.
The Joy of Coaching: Watching Growth and Building Friendships
What does Tim enjoy most about coaching? It's the incredible journey of watching kids grow. "Watching the kids grow not only in skills and maturity but also building friendships and developing key social skills," he shares. For Tim, coaching is about more than just teaching rugby; it’s about nurturing young minds and fostering a supportive environment where children can flourish. The smiles, the laughs, and the moments of triumph on the field are what make coaching a rewarding experience.
Exciting Times Ahead: Building Teams and Facing Challenges
This season, Tim is especially excited to stay with the Under 7s, despite following his daughter from Under 5s to Under 8s. "I’ve had such fun with the U7s that I've decided to stay with this age group this season," he explains. Tim finds immense joy in seeing young players’ skills develop and witnessing the emergence of rugby players and team mates.
The upcoming fixtures and the much-anticipated tournament at ASHTON GATE with the Bristol Bears promise thrilling experiences. "How amazing is that? This will test all of their abilities, and I can’t wait to see what this team can do," he exclaims. For Tim, it’s all about having fun and showcasing what Yate can do on the rugby field.
Under 7s: The First Step into Rugby
Under 7s is a crucial stage where young players transition from basic catching and passing to becoming a TEAM. "This can be scary for some, but here at Yate, we are one big family, and we do this together," Tim assures. Our Under 7s have played their first game this season, and within the first few minutes, they learned that their FAMILY is with them on the pitch. They opened up and played rugby with all their heart. As a father and a coach, Tim couldn't ask for more.
The friendships and team spirit developing within this group are heartening to see. These bonds will strengthen as the players progress through the year groups, laying the foundation for a strong and cohesive team in the future.
At Yate Rugby Academy, we believe in nurturing young talent and fostering a sense of community. Under the guidance of dedicated coaches like Time Keyte, our Under 7s are not just learning rugby; they’re learning the values of teamwork, friendship, and perseverance.
