Don't Be That Parent · v2
A parents' guide to mini rugby in Hong Kong.
Written for the family in their first season, and the family in their fifth.
A new publicationLaunching 15 May 2026
Hong Kong's positive, constructive voice for rugby.
Slow, honest writing about the people, clubs, schools and weekends that keep our game alive — written from inside the community, never from outside it.
Editor's note
Hong Kong rugby is small, loud, and largely held up by people who don't get paid to do it. There is a lot worth celebrating here, and a few things worth fixing.
The Tryline is for both. Slow, accurate, written by someone in the community — not commenting on it from a studio. Brutal honesty without the sneer. Volunteers and parent coaches are off-limits; institutions are not.
— The Editor · Hong Kong, April 2026
First published pieceThe Mini Rugby Parents' Guide
