Sammy Anderson, a former Central High School Rugby player, now playing with Life University Men's Team in the Super League, came and ran practice at Powell Rugby Club.

Saturday was a beautiful day with nice and warm sunshine. Sammy ran a great practice, bringing his contagious energy and love for the game. Everyone concluded that was the best practice of the season by far!!

Sammy's positive momentum and enthusiasm transpired throughout practice from one session to another. Players really enjoyed the variety of the drills and technique demonstration they were offered.

Practice started with a dynamic warm up with players running in circle in both directions and passing a few balls around.

Nice and steady! IT doesn't look too hard!

Oh! Now this is Chaos! Running into each other and passing the ball at random. Now that's Rugby like...

Warming up the upperbody, we love it!

Let's get serious ...
