RSA’s Own Monthly Newsletter
This is the first edition of “OFF THE POST” RSA’s new monthly newsletter.
We all get busy and it’s hard to keep up with your son or daughters team let alone the
sport as a whole. We hope “OFF THE POST” will capture points of interest and good video to educate you in a bid to make the playing experience of your child better.
I will simply write a brief overview of the article or video and if it sparks your interest to
know more on the subject, just click on the link to read the full article or watch the video.
