Compass International School (Compass) and Doha Rugby Football Club (DRFC) recently signed a three-year agreement that will support and develop young people in grassroots rugby clubs within Qatar. Rugby is one of the fastest-growing sports worldwide.
The partnership aims to put Qatar on the international stage, with heavy investments into new sporting equipment, sports kits and coaching quality, and career pathways.
As part of the world’s premium international school organisation, Nord Anglia Education, Compass’s commitment reflects the school’s value of making each moment count for every child, inside and outside the classroom.
Opportunity to strengthen skills
The partnership will provide unique benefits for more than 250 children aged five to 17 years old (minis and youth), creating the perfect environment for them to refine their motor skills, discover new strengths, gain confidence, and engage in a healthy and passionate sporting environment.
Compass Executive Principal Peter Derby-Crook said that the new partnership will give children more opportunities to strengthen their skills and encourage those dreaming of a career in sports to chase it.
We’re excited to be working with DRFC to make a positive impact on the future of rugby in Qatar, as well as encourage young people to keep their minds and bodies healthy by doing something they love.
DRFC Chairman Tim Newnham said they are very excited to announce their partnership with Compass and the opportunities it will bring to the club and rugby in general. According to Newnham, rugby is one of the fastest-growing sports in the world and DRFC aims to contribute to that growth in the region.
Our partnership allows us to offer improved training methods and increase the availability of rugby to all ages and genders in Qatar, regardless of their previous sporting background.
