We have a small core group who have been playing walking rugby for a few months and we are now seeking additional players, support and facilities.
The game is played as touch rugby, so non contact, and is suitable for both male and female players, irrespective of previous rugby experience. Other than being adult, there is no age barrier (upward or downward). Teams generally comprise 5 to 7 players a side, and games are 5 minutes each half. Sessions last about 1.5 hours and the emphasis is on fun, rather than competition. If your club have sufficient interest we should be happy to arrange a taster session with you.
Whilst we currently play on Friday mornings (9.45 -11.00) at Bath RFC Lambridge. We are open to arranging evening sessions on other days if there is sufficient demand. There is a thriving walking rugby community rapidly developing around the country, and it would be great for Bath to be able to be fully represented in this.
Can we ask you to please spread the word throughout your club and contacts, and have anyone interested in playing, helping or participating in any way, to make contact.
