Rugby Camps
During the Easter half term the WRU are running a variety of Rugby camps across the region as part of the wider fit & fed programme. These are running for children in years 2 – 6. The majority of the mixed camps are full however they have plenty of spaces remaining on the Girls Rugby camp that will be running on Tuesday 12th April at Newbridge RFC. The camps are purely tag/ touch rugby, so the girls do not need to have experience of contact or have ever played rugby before. The camp will be running from 10 – 3pm and lunch is provided. To book on the camp, please fill in the below form, ensuring you select the Girls Camp.
