development programmes

development programmes

The Matt Ratana Rugby Foundation will run a series of programmes which will help young people to develop their rugby ability but to also develop their life skills. Programmes will be one day or week-long training camps including:


  • Skills - the basics and how we improve
  • Wellbeing in rugby, both physical and mental.
  • The benefits of team sports
  • Sport for all and appreciations of diversity
  • Why the rules of rugby are like the rules of life 
  • Sportsmanship - in winning and defeat 
  • Transition to Senior Rugby
  • Providing facilities and equipment for clubs and teams

The Whānau way

Matt was incredibly generous with his time, energy and care with the clubs he worked with and the surrounding communities. Matt would often refuse or return his coaching expenses to work with disadvantaged kids and adults who might not otherwise have access to training. Combining life skills and sports education was so important to Matt and will be a driver for these programmes.
