Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh NHS Foundation Trust have launched a Touch Rugby league, which started on 15th March, at Wigan St. Pat's.
The aim of the league is to get fit and have fun, and what better way in Wigan than to play Touch Rugby!
The next Touch Rugby session will be held at 7pm on the 29th March 2010 at Wigan St. Pat's. At the next session, we will set up 2 leagues - Social and Competitive. This is so that people will play with people and against others at the same level they are at.
The session will begin with a warm up/mini training session of about 20 minutes. Then, the Competitive people will form teams (either Teams that they have previously formed, or on the night - don't worry, all people wanting to play competitively will be on a Team!) The Competitive Teams must nominate Captain's and think of a Team Name. Depending on how many Team's there are on the night, will depend on how many matches played, but don't worry, there will be plenty of opportunity for everyone to play, and get fit!
For the Social people, after the warm up, you will then have a more extensive training session, developing ball handling, running and basic touch rugby skills. There will then be the opportunity to play in mini touch rugby games, where again everyone will get the chance to play, and all for fun!!
And just because you choose to play in the Social league, this does not mean that you cannot develop and eventually play in the Competitive league, as your skills, and fitness develop.
Please note that just because you did not attend the Taster Session on the 15th March, this does not mean that you cannot attend further sessions. If you are interested in the Social League, you can turn up on any of the dates below. If you are interested in the Competitive league, there will be rules for Teams and their attendance at the Heats.
If you would like to enter a Team, or simply come along as an individual, either competitively or socially, please contact me, either via email or phone.
If there are any questions, please ring me, and I will help you as much as I can.
