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.
In January, we started running free taster sessions 4x every month and saw our numbers grow from 2 players to 12. As we head into the 2024-25 season, we will move to a weekly cadence, training every Friday. Our programme offers a unique opportunity for young athletes between the ages of 12-18, of all skill levels, to train with women’s players from the Trailfinders Women’s team.
Be sure to register today and receive programme updates!
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 minimal contact approach, focusing on providing a space for athletes to explore rugby and their own athleticism. Our main objective is to build interest in girls rugby, while establishing a girls section at Ealing Trailfinders.
Friday Night Sessions
Join us every Friday night for free skill sessions.
All sessions will be held at Ealing Trailfinders Sports club, and led by professional players from our Trailfinders Women’s team.
Essential Equipment and Attire for Rugby Players
Athletes are advised to wear appropriate sports attire, including a pair of rugby or football boots, as the turf can become slippery during physical activity if running in trainers.
Attend 4 sessions and receive your very own Trailfinders Girls Rugby tee!
Session Dates:
Every Friday evening starting July 5, 2024
Sessions will run 5:00 – 6:30 pm
*Please note that we will not be in session Friday, July 19.
