Year 7 Girls Love Rugby Day
I am very happy to say that we are hosting a Year 7 Girls - Love Rugby Event at Topsham RFC, 28th February, 10am - 2pm. This was a fantastic day last time and we would love to see as many of you there as possible in a great year for women's and girls' rugby with the World Cup being hosted in England & Exeter. On that note we are combining Devon School Rugby Manager's with myself and Ella and also extend a warm welcome to Jane Clark, Somerset SRM and Somerset schools who would like to attend.
Format of the Day:
- We are very grateful for the help of the Exeter Chiefs Community team plus we are hopeful for a few of the women's Premiership squad will be in attendance as well.
- We will brief everyone on the format of the day together, split into 6-8 groups for a coaching carousel of activities including handling, touch games, conditioned games, SAQ, kicking and hopefully all being well with conditions the high ball machine! Approx 10-12 mins per station.
- Lunch / Break - please bring packed lunch and plenty of fluids!
- Afternoon session - We will split into touch / T1 Rugby friendly games
- Housekeeping - please ensure you bring a first aid kit for your school. Photography - we would love to capture the day at points, if you have any pupils not able to be photographed make us aware
A reminder that the focus is fun and enjoyment, we would like as many girls as possible to have a positive and impactful experience of rugby and we will have a range of players including those completely new to the game.
Numbers - most filled a mini bus last year but we are very 'more the merrier' in our approach!
