What an afternoon! Yate Rugby Academy proudly hosted our latest Yate Rugby Schools Network Contact Tournament, welcoming teams from Brimsham Green, Yate Academy, and Chipping Sodbury School — and what unfolded was nothing short of spectacular.

Across Years 7, 8 & 9, we saw more than 100 young players step onto the pitch with passion, excitement, and a hunger to play the game we all love. From the very first whistle to the final tackle, the energy was electric.

⭐ A Festival of Rugby

This wasn’t just a tournament — it was a celebration:

Fun rugby
Competitive rugby
Passionate rugby

Rugby was definitely the overall winner.

The commitment, teamwork, and respect shown by every player was something truly special. Smiles everywhere. Coaches buzzing. Parents cheering. Teachers proud.

And the best part?

Every single kid asked the same question:

“When can we do this again?”

That’s when you know you’ve done something right.

💛 Why This Matters

At Yate Rugby Academy, our mission is simple:

Get more young people playing rugby.

Not for trophies. Not for glory. But for:

Fun
Fitness
Confidence
Friendship
The love of the game

Seeing so many young athletes embrace rugby — some for the very first time — reminds us exactly why we do what we do.
