District Wide Staff Development
Physical Education/Adapted PE Conference
November 2 2010 Sunrise Mountain High School
While most kids were off from school enjoying time with family, friends and so forth. Las Vegas Rugby Academy (LVRA)staffs were out working and spreading rugby to the Clark County School District Physical Education Department. Clark County School District had a two day Staff Development and Las Vegas Rugby Academy (LVRA) was invited to teach all the PE teachers the fundamental of rugby. President of the LVRA Siva had this to say, “It was a great success today with all the PE teachers participating in the session and for their willingness to learn all about rugby. I did not expect to have so many teachers come out at 7am and want to learn rugby.”There was a total of 150 teachers, from elementary to middle school and high school, whom all attended the early session at Sunrise Mountain High school. It was awesome to see how excited the teachers were to compete against each other in rugby and still walk away injury free (well not quite). LVRA Director of Rugby Vaha Esikia said “At first the teachers were not sure rugby would be a good sport to introduce to their kids. But after participating and learning they soon realized that rugby is a sport for everyone. We taught them the non-contact version of rugby and it was funny how competitive they (PE teachers) got,at one point of the clinic we saw one guy hurt his shoulder.” The teacher was fine and just needed to walk it off. But the teacher said he will definitely introduce rugby in his school because he had a great time. This is the 2nd time Las Vegas Rugby Academy has linked up with Clark County School District to teach rugby. LVRA is looking forward for more opportunity to share the fun sport of rugby with all of Clark county and its surrounding areas.
