For all of you that don't know what touch rugby is:
It's a safe, fun, minimal contact, non-collision team sport similar to rugby. There are male, female and mixed teams, its cheap to play and easy to pick up. It was developed as a training tool for Rugby League in the 1970s but is now a sport in its own right.
It's also a great way to get fit and meet new friends. A number of people have jumped on board with the Healthy Lifestyles scheme we offer and have lost loads of weight as well as gaining new levels of fitness.Two of our players have completed the full 18 week scheme and have lost a combined stone in weight!!!
Our new winter touch season kicks off on Tuesday 18th October 2011 and will take place at Soccer City again on a Tuesday evening at 19.00 and will cost £3 for 2 hours of rugby.
Testimonials from the scheme:
Sian Hills, Leeds Rhinos Women & girls development officer commented "A great opportunity to bring together the rugby community in a fun environment".
Sam Horner, Community clubs development officer commented "A great environment for mixed gender and all abilities to enjoy rugby league".
