By working together, we aim to provide valuable mentorship opportunities, resources, and workshops empowering girls in rugby.
Who is TryTogether Women’s Rugby Mentorship?
TryTogether is a mentorship initiative dedicated to the development of women’s rugby. Founded by passionate rugby advocates, including Doreen Ketshabile and Gorata Kgathi (Read more about Gorata Kgathi here), TryTogether strives to inspire and guide young female players. They connect experienced local and international mentors with mentees to build a supportive community that nurtures both skills and confidence.

Benefits of the Partnership
This collaboration will bring incredible opportunities to Pantheon Rugby Academy’s female athletes. Our partnership with TryTogether will offer:
- Access to Mentees Passing on Knowledge
Senior TryTogether mentees will share their rugby knowledge with Pantheon girls. Through limited sessions and workshops, these mentees will become role models, showing our young players what’s possible with hard work and dedication. - Connections with Local and International Mentors
TryTogether mentors are leaders in rugby, both locally and internationally. Our girls will gain access to these experts during workshops and special sessions. These interactions will give them invaluable advice on improving their game and handling challenges. - Quality Video and Text Resources
As TryTogether continues to expand its mentorship program, they are producing excellent rugby learning materials. Our players will benefit from these video tutorials and written guides to improve their technical skills, strategies, and understanding of the game. - Workshops Focused on Holistic Development
The partnership will include workshops that focus on personal development alongside rugby training. Topics like leadership, teamwork, mental strength, and goal-setting will empower girls in rugby to excel both on the pitch and in life. - A Community of Inspiration and Support
Pantheon girls will become part of the TryTogether network. This community will connect them with peers and mentors who share their passion for rugby. Such bonds inspire players to work harder and dream bigger. - Pathways for Growth and Future Opportunities
Whether pursuing rugby at competitive, professional, or recreational levels, this partnership sets a solid foundation. Our young women will gain the confidence and tools needed to seize opportunities in the sport.
Why This Matters for Girls in Rugby
Empowering girls in rugby means more than teaching the game. It creates a space where young women can build confidence, leadership, and resilience. By combining forces with TryTogether, Pantheon Rugby Academy ensures our girls receive support at every step of their rugby journey.
Programs like this encourage more girls to stay in sports, which contributes to their overall health and personal growth. By offering guidance, mentorship, and skill-building opportunities, we are helping to shape strong leaders for the future.
Looking Ahead
Pantheon Rugby Academy remains committed to providing the best opportunities for all our athletes. This partnership with TryTogether aligns perfectly with our mission to grow rugby across Botswana. Together, we will make a lasting impact on girls’ rugby development.
We look forward to seeing our players flourish as they learn from TryTogether’s mentees, mentors, and resources. As we grow this collaboration, we are confident it will inspire more girls to play rugby, dream big, and aim for excellence.
