Come and Try Rugby Festival

On Thursday 9th February we held our very first year 7 girls come and try rugby event. We welcomed 4 Secondary schools to Wymondham Rugby Club.

The morning saw the pupils take part in rugby skills stations. These activities were designed to help the pupils understand the basic skills needed to play rugby and start to understand the basic rules. There were lots of smiling faces which showed that the pupils were enjoying the activities.

In the afternoon schools took part in a team round robin festival with all teams playing each other in their group. Schools looked out for pupils in their team who displayed the School Games Value ‘Self-Belief’ and these pupils were celebrated at the end of the event.

A massive thank you to our leaders from Wymondham College who ran the activities and refereed throughout the day. The year 10 sports leaders did an incredible job, they showed great maturity and initiative and undertook their roles with growing confidence throughout the day, we were delighted with them.

A massive thank you also goes to Kimberley Fearn who helped organise and run the day. A big thank you to Wymondham Rugby Club for hosting this event and letting us use your fantastic facilities. It was great to see so many pupils enjoying the game of rugby today and getting the opportunity to take part at a big club such as Wymondham RUFC.
