If you thought rugby was just a sport for men, then think again.

Participation in women’s rugby has doubled in the past 10 years, the England women’s team won the World Cup last summer and with the Rugby World 2015 fever in full flow, there’s never been a better time for women and girls to give the sport a try.

On July 3rd at 2.30pm we are offering a free ‘Pitch up and Play’ session, open to women of all abilities and ages. We’ll be encouraging you to play to your strengths - whether you’re fast, agile, tall or strong, our Pitch up and Play session will empower you to unleash your inner toughness.

What is Pitch Up and Play?
Our Pitch Up and Play session has been carefully designed to be inclusive, enjoyable and informative. It doesn’t matter whether you’re brand new to rugby, a sofa supporter or a returning player, we will shape the session to your experience and preferences.

During the session we’ll introduce you to , basic skills, fitness techniques and elements of match play in a fun and relaxed environment.

The session lasts for 1 hour. It's being held at Paddy Freemans Park, near the rugby pitch (just look for the posts and hopefully a big red flag).

How much does it cost?
The session is completely free. You don’t need to be a member of Novos RFC to take part.

What equipment do I need?
All you need is a pair of trainers, some clothes that you can comfortably exercise in and we recommend bringing a drink bottle.

Can I bring a friend?
You can come on your own, in a pair or in a group. During the Pitch Up and Play session you’ll get to meet the other participants so don’t worry about coming on your own.
