"They went from swearing at
me to respecting me, and that's a big change.
I've earned their respect, and they've earned mine."
Claymore program Youth Coach commenting on the ways
the participants had changed as a result of taking
part in Rugby in the Park.
Rugby in the Park Claymore is supported by Eagle
Vale High School. Twelve EVH high school
students volunteered to become Coach/Mentors in
2005. Each week local children enjoyed the
activities, camaraderie and sausage sizzle. Nearly 70%
of children attending the program in Claymore in
2005 stated they were inactive after school, with
watching TV and playing Playstation and doing
nothing as their regular after school activities. Of those
65% became regular participants!
