Chichester Sharks Head Coach Dayle Kirby has been visiting Bishop Luffa School to introduce the students to flag football.
On Tuesday, Dayle worked with two PE classes, covering various aspects of the game, including catching, tackling and running routes. The group of around forty girls took to this new sport with surprising ease, as their coach-for-the-day announced the Sharks’ plans to develop a youth section in 2008.
Dayle, who also teaches and coaches at Christ’s Hospital in Horsham, returns to the Chichester school for another ‘taster’ on Monday. “After that,” he commented, “it will be down to the students to decide if they would like to play flag football more regularly. I really hope they do,” he added, “as a number of them showed real ability.”

Wasn’t able to run the session today because of the conditions. I do hope that we’re able to repeat the exercise soon.
pah! What’s a little bit of wind?!
That’s a shame. We’ll have to try again another time

sorry nick, was me over-reacting. we’ve had some other comments made on here in the past, that have been left anonymously, taking shots at us. Just me being defensive.
By the way, I was walking through a corridor at work this week and I got stuck behind a slow moving bunch of people. Some old fella at the front I thought, then I looked ahead and saw it was a certain Voodoo QB shuffling along
