Author's Purpose Analysis
Text A: A club that belongs to everyone
At Northbank Rugby Club, the first thing you notice is the sound: boots thudding on the pitch, a whistle cutting through the air, and laughter from the kitchen. On Saturday, ten-year-old Anya arrived for her first training session, clutching a borrowed pair of boots. Rhys, one of the older players, showed her how to pass. By the end, she was racing towards the try line, grinning.\n\nThe club is more than a place to play. Volunteers run weekly sessions for beginners, and players of all abilities train in mixed-age groups. There is a quiet room for anyone who needs a break from the noise.\n\nIf you have ever wondered whether rugby is for you, come along next Saturday. You do not need experience or your own kit: just bring a water bottle and give it a try. You might leave with muddy socks—and a new team.
Text B: What happens at a beginner rugby session?
A beginner rugby session usually starts with a warm-up, followed by passing and movement activities. Coaches introduce skills gradually and explain how to take part safely. Players practise in small groups before trying a short, non-contact game.\n\nMost sessions last about an hour. Comfortable sports clothes and a water bottle are useful; clubs can often lend basic equipment. The coach may adapt activities for different ages, confidence levels or access needs.\n\nRugby is a team sport in which players carry, pass or kick an oval ball towards the opposition’s goal line. In non-contact versions, players practise tactics without tackling. Check with the club before attending to find out about session times, equipment and any arrangements for new players.
