Cokethorpe had the honour of hosting the prestigious Stade Toulousain Academy as part of their exciting ideas exchange trip. Following visits to top-tier clubs like Northampton Saints and Saracens, the academy brought their expertise to our School, leading an inspiring coach and player development session that was centred around the renowned Toulouse rugby philosophy.
The session offered our players a rare opportunity to receive coaching from some of the finest in the sport, including All Blacks double World Cup winner, Jerome Kaino, whose experience and knowledge were invaluable. Jerome’s insights, combined with the expertise of the entire coaching team, provided an enriching experience for all involved, challenging our players to expand their skills and understanding of the game.
The day was a fantastic celebration of rugby’s global community, with pupils, coaches, and staff all benefitting from the wealth of knowledge and experience that the Stade Toulousain Academy brought.
