The British School In The Netherlands

Organised by the BSN Rugby Club, and open to players from a variety of schools and clubs across the region, this was the second year the Tigers had visited the school. With nearly 120 young players from 14 different nations taking part (significantly up on last year), the Tigers coaches worked with all the age groups to develop their range of rugby skills throughout the week. A visit from the one of the Tiger's star players, Jordan Crane, was an inspiration for many of the boys who had a chance to question him about his career and life in rugby.

T he BSN rugby club are the current holders of the title of Dutch National Champions across three age groups - Minis (U-13), Cubs (U-15) and Juniors (U-17). A major contributor to this success is the club's team of coaches - many highly qualified and accomplished coaches who volunteer to see the Club succeed. Matt Roper, BSN Rugby Club's Head Coach explains; "the Tigers coaching programme offers the boys a taste of the hard work and discipline involved with playing rugby at the top level ... as well as all the fun and enjoyment to be gained from playing a sport well."

The Hague Expat TV crew came along to have a look at what was going on during the week and their film can be seen here http://www.thexpat.tv/?icl=1340

With discussions underway for another course for next year, the Tigers and the BSN Rugby Club look set to continue working together for the future.
