The Han River Pirates celebrated their 3rd anniversary with a "Patrons and Sponsors Dinner" on Saturday night and then were up early, bleary-eyed, the next day to start their new season . Cajoling 39 enthusiastic Touch players into organised coaching groups is not easy if you haven't been prudent the night before!
This is the seventh session since the formation of the club and the attendance at the end of the last season was up to 60-70 kids each weekend. The split is roughly 80% foreigners and 20% Korean and coaching is in both languages. It is all a far cry from spring 2005 when just nine kids came to the first training!
The age range goes from 6-17 years with the biggest group at about 8-12 years. Of course, boys and girls play on an even footing because the primary sport played is Touch. Occassionally Tag has been played and last year, rugby was tried by some of the older boys.
