Rugby is the perfect sport for a young athlete.
You don't have to bat, have pitching skill, and you absolutely have to work in a team. The coach will send you to run laps but you do it with your arms linked up around 3 or 4 of your mates. Young kids don't play tackle, so its still just fun.
These coaches are really good--they just want the kids to love the sport, and they look like fathers showing the kids how to put their shoulders together in a "scrum"
Michael does best in defense, but he scored his first "try" on Saturday and was awarded "player of the match" The highly coveted golden shoe award, which will travel all season.
