New Year, New You?

You’ve heard the saying but how does this work for you and what will be the motivation you need to be the healthier, happier you this year?

Why not kick-start the year by unleashing your Inner Warrior and try one of England Rugby’s iconic Warrior Camps at Leicester Forest RFC? They are fun, completely free fitness sessions with a sprinkle of rugby focused activity that will get you out in the fresh air, introducing you to like-minded women and girls who are there to have a good time and keep fit this January.

For the first time this Warrior Camp will be taking place over five consecutive weekends, so you can build some real momentum in your fitness regime whist truly getting to grips with the basics of rugby. Each session will be slightly different, building on the previous week whilst increasing your confidence and skills under the guidance of experienced England Rugby community coaches. Don’t worry if you can’t join the first session, the sessions are designed so that you can join at any time throughout the series – we would love to see mums and daughters coming along to these sessions and are for anyone age 12 upwards (u13s, u15s, u18s and senior age groups)

Is rugby for you?

Rugby offers an opportunity for people of all shapes, sizes and skill sets to play, and welcomes anyone who may have overindulged during the festive period! The Warrior Camps also welcome back any players who previously hung up their boots for a few seasons; this could be the perfect opportunity to locate a club and ease back into the game.

Did we mention it’s also completely free to attend the camps? No need to loosen the purse strings, the introductory sessions this January are on us! 18,000 women and girls have already found their love of rugby through a Warrior Camp, so why not challenge yourself this year and try something new at your local club?

England Rugby’s Inner Warrior campaign aims to attract more women to take up contact rugby. The camps teach participant’s key introductory skills and drills for rugby, with help on hand every step of the way. All you will need to take part are a pair of trainers, your usual workout gear and a ‘have a go’ attitude…
