What kinds of activities can rugby clubs support?
- Running T1 rugby sessions
T1 rugby is the world’s first non-contact sport that fully reflects the unique characteristics of rugby union while remaining simple to play. ‘A game for everyone, played by anyone', T1 Rugby has an emphasis on fun, fitness and inclusion, and provides a fun, welcoming and safe environment for people of all ages, abilities and backgrounds.
- A chance to watch a match or training session in action
Why not make a day of it and go along to watch a local club compete? Don’t forget the banners you made in part 1! Or observe a training session to find out what it’s all about and how players of all levels train and improve their game.
- Giving girls the opportunity to meet others playing rugby
Girls and women of all ages play rugby throughout the region. By connecting with a local club, girls will find out about the opportunities available to them in the sport, find inspiration, and connect with their peers.
- Ongoing relationship building
Many rugby clubs have space available that could help support Girlguiding groups locally, from clubhouse facilities to large, open outdoor spaces. There are also volunteer opportunities available for young women doing the Queens Guide award or Duke of Edinburgh award to learn to referee U12 girls’ matches.
