Through research the RFU has identified approximately 1 million players between the ages of 18 and 30 who no longer play rugby and approximately 300,000 who may return to the sport.

This is where the Return to Rugby programme comes in, the Return to Rugby programme is a coaching and playing programme that provides a safe, enjoyable reintroduction to rugby players who might want to return to the game.

The RFU says that the programme is “focused on refreshing key techniques to ensure that the risk of injury is reduced and to build confidence , the emphasis is on fun games and activities that promote health and fitness and reacquaint the player with the game"

So if your one of the 300,000 or know someone who is, Our sessions at Acklam will run from the 15th of September @ 7pm and subsequent Tuesday evenings after that. There are also sessions for women starting 16th September @ 7pm
