Cancun Hammerheads Rugby Femenil

In August 2009, 8 Foreigners met below the Huge Flag in Cancun Hotel Zone and Formed Cancun Rugby Club.

I being one of those Foreigners (and the only Manxman) along with 1 Frenchman, 3 Argentinians and 3 Englishmen founded the Rugby Union Team known as the Cancun Hammerheads, which has continued to grow and have new members almost every training session....

We currently have two U19's National Team players.

It was it put to me that we should form a Cancun Hammerheads Ladies Team, and that I would be the team Coach.

Okay, I had bullied the guys enough I guess as I used to beast them ARMY Style around the field for an hour each session, now it was the ladies turn.

I was pleasantly suprised when my first group arrived for training, although I had no Idea what to expect, as very few people in the whole of Mexico play Rugby, let alone the girls of Cancun, still it was time to give it a go and see what they were made off.

Week One... Ball handling and a brief introduction to Rugby

Week Two... Tackling (Which went down VERY VERY Well) I was suprised at how much interest this created.

Week Three small games of 3 on 3 ect.....

This has been an amazing experience on my behalf..... through a language barrier (I had never had to teach a sport in Spanglish before), and not one girl having ever even seen a Rugby Ball before let alone handled one,

I now had the makings of a really good rugby team.
