- RUGBY – Values for lifeThe values gained playing rugby will benefit the children in all areas of their life.
At Gordonian Pelicans we want every child to benefit from the respect, discipline, teamwork and skill that can be gained from learning the game.
We believe these values in turn help children enjoy the game more and with friendship, fun, fitness and competition, grow to love the game for life. OUR FIRST FESTIVAL!
Our P3 section had their first competition on the 8th of October. Needless to say all the kids had a great time and played very well.
