[QUOTE="Tony Manx, post: 792502, member: 50236"] Guess there is always an exception that proves a rule and obviously you got unlucky! In my experience, everyone who was involved in teaching loved the game and wanted everyone to enjoy it too. We never had anything like touch rugby and went into full contact at 8 but with lots of tuition on the basics followed by a short period of game time to try it out! Nowadays, my grandchildren are playing and seem to have much more coaching than playing which consists of touch sevens and are told that will not get to full on rugby until they are at least 12 and then only if they have the basics correct. Good you gave it another chance and hope you enjoy it enough to help train the next generation the right way...... [/QUOTE]
