Join our Girls Rugby Programme at Ealing Trailfinders
Let’s Play Rugby:
We are delighted to announce the launch of our Girls Rugby Programme at Ealing Trailfinders. As we embark on our journey into Professional Women’s Rugby (The PWR), our goal is to cultivate a passion for the sport among young players and provide a nurturing environment for both new and experienced athletes to enhance their rugby skills.
Beginning in January and continuing through June, we will be conducting two separate taster sessions every other week. Both sessions are open to athletes between the ages of 12-18, and of all skill levels. Each session will be led by accomplished women’s rugby players from the Trailfinders Women’s team.
Why Girls Rugby?
Our objective for this year is to promote the advantages of participating in rugby among kids and establish a girls’ rugby programme that provides a place for players aged 11 to 18 at Ealing Trailfinders.
When your athlete becomes part of our programme, they will be embraced by an empowering team. Not only will we educate them on the fundamentals of rugby, but we will also cultivate an atmosphere that encourages camaraderie and friendship both on and off the field.
Let the Games Begin:
Our sessions will prioritise the instruction of fundamental rugby skills while promoting active participation and enjoyment through skill drills and small-sided games. We aim to boost individual athlete confidence and foster a sense of healthy competition as we progress from basic skills to playing games such as touch or tag rugby.
These sessions will maintain a non-contact approach, focusing on providing a space for athletes to explore rugby and their own athleticism. Our main objective is to establish a girls team for the U14 age group next year, and subsequently expand to include U16 and U18 teams.
Mondays (U12-18)
Join us Monday nights for a great session to kick off the week.
All sessions will be held at Ealing Trailfinders Sports club, and led by professional players from our Trailfinders Women’s team.
