OK Financial Group stated that "OK Etonman Rugby Team (hereinafter referred to as Choi Yoon) will hold the "OK Etonman Rugby Academy (hereinafter referred to as Rugby Academy)"" for middle school students nationwide from Aug. 29-31."
The rugby academy, which will be held at Hana Global Campus in Seo-gu, Incheon, can be applied to any middle school rugby player nationwide. Applications will be accepted until the 18th, and school officials and leaders who wish to participate can fill out an application form with the school name, number of participants, and list of participants and submit it to the e-mail address listed on the official SNS of the Eutman Rugby Team.
The rugby academy will be led by Oh Young-gil, who leads the ᅳᆺman rugby team, coaching staff, and rugby players who are at the forefront of Korean rugby development by playing at home and abroad.
The rugby academy began with Chairman Choi Yoon's desire to convey a true rugby spirit to aspiring players who will lead the future of Korean rugby and to establish a right rugby culture where rugby spirit is alive beyond fighting spirit on the field.
In order to spread the value of rugby to more student players, the main purpose of this rugby academy is to introduce young players to how attractive rugby is and to instill the necessary mindset for future players, such as cooperation and teamwork, which are important values of rugby represented by the "noside spirit".
First, the program on the technical part necessary for the growth of the players is carried out. Basic training such as passes and kicks, and rugby rule training, which you need to know exactly as a player, will be held on the first day of the academy, followed by defense and attack training that can be used in practice, and mini rugby games are planned on the last day of the academy. This also includes injury prevention training for conditioning.
Although rugby is a sport completed with the spirit of 'no-side' that respects the opponent by shaking hands after the game, rugby's unique educational value has not been noticed because it has been stuck in the shadow of non-recognition sports. The rugby academy is also part of the Eutman Rugby Team's leadership to show it through actions, not words, to expand the rugby base.
To this end, various times have been arranged to convey the three rugby spirits of sacrifice, patience, and cooperation and 'noside spirit'. We will watch a documentary film '600,000 Tri' that tells the story of the rugby department of Osaka Chosun High School in Japan, a Korean school in Japan, and will also host a program where senior ruggers can listen to sportsmanship and life advice delivered by rugby players with director Oh Young-gil, who is also the real protagonist of '600,000 Tri'.
Choi Yoon, chairman of OK Financial Group, said, `We are planning this rugby academy for aspiring rugby players who play for tomorrow of Korean rugby. I hope that the players who participated in the rugby academy will learn a lot while enjoying rugby. It's a short time, but I look forward to my time at the rugby academy being the foundation and becoming a more brilliant player in the future."
Oh Young-gil, the coach of the Eutman rugby team, said, `Players are always showing their fighting spirit for rugby, but there is a lack of support and systems for young players who will see this and develop their dreams. In order to show the rugby dreamers 'real rugby', the team decided to move first. "We prepared it with sincerity to spread rugby that is not competition but growth, discipline, and learning by hitting the body, so we ask for a lot of interest and support from the rugby dreamers who will be with us."
