SUMMARY:Chippenham Walking Rugby - open to all genders and ages!
DESCRIPTION:Join our welcoming\, all-inclusive group of men and women for Walking Rugby\, a fun\, low-impact version of the sport that’s great for all ages and fitness levels. \nWhat is Walking Rugby?\nIn Walking Rugby there are no scrums\, lineouts\, rucks or mauls. To make a tackle\, simply touch the ball carrier with two hands – the ball carrier must then stop and pass the ball to another player on their team.\nNo-one keeps score\, instead the emphasis is on enjoyable and social rugby for all.\nFor more information see the RFU’s video – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAdPp6FS2q4 \nWhat do I need?\nAll you need is sports wear\, studded boots (don’t worry if you don’t have any we have some we can lend you some) as we normally play on our artificial pitch\, and a bottle of water (believe us you will need it!)\, and remember …..we are WALKING! \nWhen and Where?\nWe meet every Friday at Chippenham Rugby Club\, 6.30pm until 7.30pm. We join up with other local rugby clubs on a regular basis to share enjoyable evenings of rugby and socialising\, and also attend festivals hosted by other clubs which includes at least one each year where we are “on tour” \nIf you want to join in whether you have played before or are new to rugby and whatever your gender\, please drop David Cowan an email on walkers@chippenhamrfc.co.uk and he will coordinate. \nCome and give it a ‘Try’!!! \n
