The sports project “Rugby to School” was launched in Kurilsk. The first games took place at the local sports and recreation complex on October 28, reported edition “Red Lighthouse”.
As part of the project, one of the areas of this sport will be developed in Iturup – tag rugby. Unlike classic rugby, there is a minimum of martial arts here. The player needs to bring the ball over the line, and then fix it, pressing it to the floor, and make a throw.
A new project in Kurilsk was presented by a member of the regional rugby federation Nikita Nakelsky and one of the best players of the South Sakhalin team “Storm” Evgeny Lavrentyev.
Previously, the island region had only a division, Sakhalin, where the island’s school teams compete. After the start of the project, another one appeared – “Iturup”. The school rugby league will feature six teams. Kurilskaya and Reidovskaya schools presented two each, and educational institutions from the villages of Goryachiye Klyuchi and Gorny brought together one more.
The Tsunami team from Kurilsk won the first round of the Iturup division, Vulkan from Gorny took silver, and Olympians from Reidov took bronze.
Tag rugby competitions will run throughout the year. In addition to schoolchildren, adult teams will also be able to participate, but their games will not be counted.
Previously “MK on Sakhalin” wrote, that the “Last Onslaught” cup was held in the regional center, in which athletes competed in rugby sevens. This is the same rugby, only it differs from the classic one in the number of players and the duration of the periods.
