June 21st is a special date in the calendar of the Vilnius Rugby Academy – not just because the sun decided to treat us to beautiful weather, but because our community – children, parents, the men's team, coaches, and volunteers – came together for a joyful and memorable all-day celebration!
The morning started off with teamwork – some were moving tables, others were blowing up balloons. Once everything was set up, the serious part began – a parents’ meeting. We reflected on the past year, celebrated our achievements, and talked about future plans. Meanwhile, the first orienteering challenge in Vingis Park had already been spotted somewhere...
The orienteering competition became the true highlight of the day – teams ran from point to point, solved puzzles, completed tasks, and most importantly – collaborated. From physical challenges to creative tasks, everyone had a chance to show their talents.
Then came the stadium activities fiesta! Airsoft shooting? Yes! Archery? Yes! Wet volleyball? Absolutely! TAG rugby, football, smiles, running, laughter – and above all – community spirit. Some tried things for the first time, others discovered new hobbies, but everyone left with hearts full of memories.
The day wasn’t just packed with activities – it was also a great opportunity to connect more deeply, talk, and build relationships – between kids, parents, coaches, and everyone who contributes to the life of the Vilnius Rugby Academy every day. The celebration once again reminded us that only together can we grow, improve, and build a strong, friendly community.
And we didn’t forget our stomachs – the snack table was always tempting, and the drinks kept us refreshed after all the excitement. And what could be better than the sparkling eyes of children in the sunshine and the sincere laughter of parents in the background?
Thank you to everyone who was there – who participated, helped, planned, or simply smiled and supported us! Days like this remind us that the Vilnius Rugby Academy is not just about sports. It’s about community. It’s about family.
The summer season is officially open!
WE GROW ONLY TOGETHER!
