GingerCloud Foundation’s Post

📢A world first rugby program for neurodiverse young people. 😁Meet Charlie, a fabulous neurodiverse young person with the biggest and kindest heart! Charlie is showing the world what he can do, on and off the rugby field with GingerCloud Foundation Modified Rugby Program (MRP). On the rugby field, he is exhibiting sportsmanship and inclusion. He's not just playing the game; he’s leading by example. Off the field Charlie is motivating, mentoring and encouraging other neurodiverse young people to embrace and live their best life – empowering them to create a community where we all belong! GingerCloud’s MRP is a world-first, person centred, touch-only modified form of rugby union. Neurodiverse young people (7-18+ years) with Autism, Down Syndrome, ADHD or other learning and perceptual disabilities can play rugby with the support, guidance and friendship of a Volunteer at their local club. We want to ensure our MRP Players experience success and fun. 🏉🏉 🙌We want every neurodiverse young person to learn, explore and achieve, o Learning how to catch a ball with two hands. o Place the ball with two hands when scoring. o Tag opposing players with two hands. o Pass the ball backwards. o Run forward at all times. o Sportsmanship and teamwork. o How to be consistent. o How to communicate well. o How to help and support others. o How to speak up for yourselves. o Why a routine is important. o Why being on time is important. o Giving and receiving feedback. o Making friends and being social. 📨Positions are still available for the 2024 Season, email gcsupport@gingercloud.org. Thank you, St.George Bank for your continued partnership. Thank you for powering inclusion and ensuring #rugbyisforeveryone
