The approach of the club and the coaches received the superb support of volunteers at RFC Dendermonde. Here the junior and mini coaches worked side by side with the professionals of Tigers all through the week. They were seen together during the day on the pitch and in the evening session of coach education that share and build the rugby knowledge.

Head of global partnerships of Tigers Scott Clarke said: “Rugby Club at Dendermonde is a wonderful example; how a community comes together to create something special through rugby. The club has worked really hard to provide the facilities, both on and off the pitch for players in numbers and of all the ages. Here, they created an atmosphere like a family and showed their spirit towards the game”.
