Tonga Women's Touch Rugby





A side project I am working on is Tonga Women's Touch Rugby. It's part of an effort to promote sports and healthly living for Tongan local youth girls.

We play touch at Teufaiva field every week on Thursday at 5pm and are working towards popularizing the sport.

The main sport for Tonga's local girls is basketball (not like the basketball we see in the states, more like netball) which has a short season during the Christmas school break vacation. We are trying to create a year round program for basketball so that there will be more girls engaged in physical fitness throughout the year and not just for few months.

More later.
