MAI Students Completed the Readiness to Rugby Program
"The most active rugby players started putting a team together. The coach Andrei Zhigulsky and I, using the university’s sports facilities, organized training for these teams. But, unfortunately, the pandemic messed up all our plans. When distance learning was introduced, we began to hold individual training in self-isolation mode, and it was necessary to somehow organize the theoretical training of students involved in rugby. I consulted with Gleb Babkin, the Director of Rugby Development in the regions at the Rugby Federation of Russia, and decided to organize training for students on the official World Rugby website. They trained online under the Readiness to Rugby program," said Valery Khromenkov. The training includes classes in preparing for sports, rehabilitation measures, first aid, anti-doping measures, etc. As a result of the training, the International Certificates in Readiness to Rugby received:- 117 international students of Moscow Aviation Institute;
- 46 students of the Russian Federation, including 12 girls from the newly created team.
