Delivering T1 Rugby 

T1 Rugby emphasises fun, fitness, and inclusion, providing a welcoming and safe environment for people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds.

It is the first non-contact form of the game to include lineouts, scrums, kicking, and breakdowns, while remaining simple to play. T1 Rugby can be played by mixed-gender teams, ensuring inclusivity and enjoyment for everyone.

If you are new to delivering rugby, a great place to start is our T1 Rugby Quick Start guide and World Rugby's introductory video. 

Information on how to set up and market your sessions please see our Club Guide.

More resources for Clubs, including the Marketing Toolkit, can be found below as well as other useful information.

A reminder that if athletes wish to be selected for the Devon Schools they need to compete in this event! If they are unable to compete and wish to be given consideration there must be a valid reason and it isn’t a guarantee they will be selected, please send me an email with relevant information

The Studio You x Nike hub aims to reframe negative narratives and experiences surrounding PE for girls, and inspire them to feel confident and engaged as they enjoy the physical and mental health benefits of being active.
