September 2024

Many rugby clubs (including Old Emanuel Lions, featured below) throughout the country are opening up on Sunday mornings to welcome boys and girls under 5s to under 18s, to introduce them to this wonderful sport with core values :

• Teamwork.
• Respect. Mutual respect forms the basis of rugby. ...
• Enjoyment. Enjoyment is the reason we play and support rugby union. ...
• Discipline. Strong discipline underpins the sport. ...
• Sportsmanship.

There are no Trials!

Everyone is welcome, no matter what experience, or fitness. It is a game for all shapes and sizes. If great numbers join, they just create more teams. Turn up anytime, your child will not be excluded because they join after the start of the season. Parents enjoy meeting other parents at these sessions, as well as bacon butties and coffees, etc. Just Google for a rugby club in your area.

There is a Club in Southwest London, www.oldemanuelrfc.co.uk, who have stated quite clearly how perceive to answer a need:

Are your kids just training & not getting the game time they need at their current clubs or schools?

Or maybe you are interested in getting your kids into rugby?

Then the ‘LIONS’ is the place for them! ?????

Your child will benefit from the following:

Guaranteed game time throughout the season!
Smaller training groups to help improve individual development, led by well-qualified and experienced coaches.
Participate in tournaments and matches all season long.
Free food after training.
Fun days, award days, and various social events throughout the season.
But most importantly, the opportunity to have fun!

Training kicks off this Sunday 8th Sept at 11am at Raynes Park Sports Ground, Taunton Avenue, Raynes Park SW20 0BH, and thereafter every Sunday at 11am depending on age group.

To let your child test out rugby before committing to subs, we offer 4 sessions free of charge.

For more details and to arrange bringing your child down, please email us at lions@oldemanuelrfc.co.uk, visit our website at www.oldemanuelrfc.co.uk, Instagram: @oldemanuelrfclions, or just turn up on Sunday, and our volunteers will introduce you to your child’s age group.
