To support the development of grassroots rugby across Project Zulu partner schools, creating opportunities for learners to participate in sport while developing confidence, teamwork, leadership and other valuable life skills.
Rugby is a powerful vehicle for developing important life skills, including determination, courage, teamwork and communication. Following the success of Project Zulu’s first Tag Rugby Tournament in 2015, when many learners experienced rugby for the first time, the project was developed to build on the enthusiasm for the sport across our partner schools.
UWE Bristol rugby players volunteer their time to coach tag rugby and support PE lessons in Madadeni, living with local educators and experiencing day-to-day life within the community. They also train and play alongside the Madadeni Bears, the township’s local rugby team, creating opportunities for mutual learning and the sharing of coaching knowledge, skills and a passion for the game.
During their stay, the UWE Bristol players and Madadeni Bears coaches visit Project Zulu partner schools, giving learners opportunities to experience tag rugby while developing sporting skills, confidence, teamwork and communication. The project culminates in a Tag Rugby Tournament that brings together learners from across the participating schools to play, compete and celebrate their achievements.
