Insights from José Millaleo
José Millaleo, coordinator of the Río Grande Rugby Jockey Club, detailed the advances and challenges facing rugby and hockey in Tierra del Fuego. He highlighted the impressive growth of these disciplines, attributing it to the dedicated work of the Federation and the clubs. “It is impressive to see how rugby and hockey have grown up in recent years. There are more and more boys and girls involved, and that is thanks to the work that is being done from the Federation and the clubs,” said Millaleo.
The Importance of Formative Categories
Millaleo emphasized the importance of forming the lower categories, noting the great potential observed in young promises. “I have seen matches of the U14 categories and it is a show to see how they play. The girls are developing very well, and that is a great bet for the future,” he added.
Encouraging Cavalism in Rugby
One of the aspects that Millaleo emphasized was the need to encourage cavalism in rugby. “While we have a first knights, it is essential to work in the lower categories to ensure adequate rotation in each club. Last year we had a U-12, but we could not hold it because of the lack of filming in the knights,” he explained. Despite these challenges, the coordinator was optimistic about the future of rugby in the region.
Women in Hockey
As for the participation of women in hockey, Millaleo was enthusiastic. “We are waiting for an unprecedented event for Tierra del Fuego, where the female team will compete. Hopefully they can demonstrate all the work they have done and reach the podium,” he said. He also mentioned that the participation of the players in the Argentine National Team has been a great motivator for the young women.
Competition and Camaraderie
Millaleo reflected on the competition between the clubs of Rio Grande and Ushuaia, noting that the level has improved considerably. “Today, the teams are not taken. He stressed the importance of maintaining healthy competition, where respect and camaraderie prevail. ‘The competition must be healthy, and it is essential that we all understand that you can win or lose, but always with respect,’ he added.
Continuous Training and Community Engagement
With the arrival of the winter holidays, Millaleo anticipated that the club will not take a total break. “We will continue working, organizing activities so that experience girls are integrated with the smallest. It is a way of motivating them and generating a family atmosphere in the club,” he explained. In addition, he mentioned the importance of training for coaches and referees, demonstrating the club’s commitment to continuous training.
Invitation to the Community
Finally, Millaleo invited the community to approach the club, both to practice hockey and rugby. “We want more boys and girls to join our activities. Sport generates containment and form a beautiful family in the club,” he concluded, highlighting the importance of inclusion and teamwork in the development of these disciplines in Tierra del Fuego.
Looking Ahead
With an optimistic vision and a firm commitment, José Millaleo and the Rio Grande Rugby Jockey Club continue working to promote rugby growth and hockey in the region, ensuring a promising future for new generations of athletes.
