Junior Rugby League

Sunday 13 May, 2012

This past Sunday, my classmates and I travelled to Yarra Oval to watch the La Perouse team play rugby. When I arrived, it already seemed different than the other rugby league and rugby union games I had previously gone too. It was casual, no stands, and a lot more family involvement. There were children playing around and families into the game. I noticed there were a lot more cursing, more intense reactions from the audience. I liked the type of atmosphere better at this game because it was more family oriented and a lot of support for the players. It reminded me of youth sports back at home like AYSO soccer. With the families cuddled in chairs and eating snacks from the snack bar, it reminded me of when I used to play sports when I was younger. The feeling to have your parents on the sidelines is encouraging, and I bet the players of La Perouse felt the same!!
