About our partnership
England Rugby and Girlguiding Anglia have come together to inspire girls through non-contact rugby and related activities, emphasising fun, fitness and inclusion. We know that opportunities for sport are important to girls, who can often feel limited by perceptions of which sports are ‘for girls’. And, with women’s rugby increasing in popularity with every international tournament and grassroots game, we want to inspire the rugby players and fans of the future. We also hope that this partnership will foster local connections with rugby clubs of all sizes in the region.
How to complete this pack
Rainbows First Try is designed to complement our Love Rugby pack with activities especially for our youngest members, giving them their first try at rugby. This pack will introduce Rainbows to England Rugby’s 5 values - which we link to the Rainbow promise - and basic rugby skills and principles.
This is a flexible pack and you don’t need to complete the activities all at once. Each value will take around 20-30 minutes so you can do them alongside other activities in your programme. We recommend spacing them out over 1 or 2 terms, depending on how frequently your have joiners and leavers.
