5 Days of Transformation — From Muddy Drills to On-Field Leadership with the U15 Elmina Broncos
5 Days of Transformation — From Muddy Drills to On-Field Leadership with the U15 Elmina Broncos
Program Dates: 30 December 2025 – 3 January 2026 Location: Hevea Park & Hevea Organizers: Elmina Broncos Rugby Club & R4K Academy
School holidays are usually a time for rest, but for the Elmina Broncos Under-15 (U15) squad, it was a time for transformation. Adopting a "Close 2025, Open 2026" mentality, the club organized an intensive School Holiday Program (SHP) that tested the players physically, mentally, and tactically.
What started as physical drills on a wet field evolved into a profound lesson in leadership and brotherhood. Here is the full recap of this epic journey.
Phase 1: Solid Foundations & Safety (Coach Faiz)
Phase 1: Solid Foundations & Safety (Coach Faiz)
The program kicked off at the end of 2025 with a focus on high-intensity but safe techniques. Under the guidance of Coach Faiz from Hayato Rugby Academy, the boys were drilled on the physical realities of the game.
Defensive Technique: The sessions focused heavily on "double tackle" drills and the specific mechanics of clearing the ruck to remove threats effectively.
Safety First: Despite the aggression required, safety was paramount. Coach Faiz was vocal in his instructions, repeatedly emphasizing "No lifting!" during tackles to ensure players executed contact safely.
Phase 2: Brotherhood in the Mud
Phase 2: Brotherhood in the Mud
The moments that forged the strongest bonds didn't happen in the classroom, but in the mud. The wet weather turned Elmina Bronco Rugby field into a "theme park" for the Broncos, but the team embraced it.
The "Mud Wrestling" and sliding sessions broke down barriers between senior and junior players. From clean jerseys to being completely covered in earth, this was the moment strangers became brothers. The day concluded with a spirited "Carwash Session" to clean up, further strengthening the team spirit.
Phase 3: Tactics & Intellect (Coach Kilau)
Phase 3: Tactics & Intellect (Coach Kilau)
As the New Year rang in, Coach Kilau (Muhammad Arif Reda) flew in from Penang to sharpen the players' minds.
Classroom Mode: The players transitioned to an indoor setting to understand tactical concepts, specifically focusing on "Points vs Pressure" and decision-making frameworks.
Scrum Mastery: Back on the field, Coach Kilau refined the scrum discipline. He drilled the "Crouch, Bind, Set" sequence meticulously, ensuring correct body posture to maximize power and prevent injury.
Phase 4: Game Night & The "Leadership Moment"
Phase 4: Game Night & The "Leadership Moment"
The program culminated in a triangular match against KL Saracens and Subang Bestari Falcons under the floodlights at Hevea Arena. However, the true victory that night wasn't just on the scoreboard, but in the maturity of the players' decision-making.
Coach Kilau shared a defining moment from the match against KL Saracens. The Broncos were trailing 0-5 but won a penalty near the opponent's 5-meter line. While the coaches expected an aggressive "pick and go" or a scrum to chase a try, the team captaincy group decided to kick for 3 points.
When asked why, Jit (U15 Prop) provided an explanation that impressed the coaching staff:
"Coach, the forwards were exhausted ('barai')... we had carried the ball dozens of times in 5 minutes and took heavy tackles. The backline had many new players, and there were handling errors. At that moment, we decided to go with 3 points."
This decision demonstrated that the U15 players were capable of processing the game situation, assessing their own physical condition, and making a rational tactical decision under pressure. It was a prime example of character building and leadership.
Conclusion: "Once Bronco, Always Bronco"
Conclusion: "Once Bronco, Always Bronco"
The camp was a massive success, supported by world-class facilities (WR Certified artificial grass) and an incredible support system of parents who provided everything from daily meals to a celebratory BBQ.
A huge thank you to Coach Faiz, Coach Kilau, R4K Academy, and the Bronco parents. The boys returned home not just physically tired, but mentally stronger.
See you at the next training session!

Leadership by Example: Remembering Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi from R4K and Elmina Broncos
Leadership by Example: Remembering Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi from R4K and Elmina Broncos
“Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we shall return.”
(Al-Baqarah 2:156)
Remembering Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi
From the R4K Academy and Elmina Broncos Rugby Club
It is with deep sorrow that we received the news of the passing of YABhg. Tun Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, Malaysia’s fifth Prime Minister, who returned to the mercy of Allah yesterday. We extend our heartfelt condolences to his beloved family, and we pray that Allah SWT grants him the highest place in Jannah and rewards him for his lifelong service to the nation and ummah.
Tun Abdullah, affectionately known as Pak Lah, led Malaysia through a transformative period marked by calm, wisdom, and integrity. A man of deep faith and quiet strength, his leadership was rooted in Islamic values—emphasizing wasatiyyah (moderation), transparency, and the moral compass of governance. His promotion of Islam Hadhari offered a vision of Islam that was progressive, inclusive, and forward-looking, reminding us all that spiritual development and national progress go hand in hand.
As a statesman, Tun Abdullah’s contributions extended beyond politics. He emphasized education, public service reform, and interfaith harmony—laying foundations that continue to benefit Malaysia today. His humility, gentleness, and soft-spoken resolve left an indelible mark on those who observed and followed his leadership.
At R4K Academy and Elmina Bronco Rugby Club, we strive to nurture a new generation of youth grounded in discipline, respect, and service—values that resonate with Tun Abdullah’s legacy. His life reminds us that leadership is not about volume or vanity, but about purpose, patience, and principle. He showed us that strength lies in restraint, that progress can be compassionate, and that faith must be the anchor of all ambition.
May Allah SWT forgive his shortcomings, multiply his rewards, and reunite him with the righteous in the Hereafter. Ameen.

"Anak saya ni masalah sikit nak bersosial. Suka bersendirian je.."
And now,
"Thank you Coach, my son sudah suka main ragbi.. excited nak pergi training."
"Thank you. My son dah marah marah kalau lambat pergi training."
It's a joy to see the kids from how they were from day 1 till where they are today.
