CHINEHAM RFC, in association with the RFU Development Team, would like to support schools’ Year 7 intake with their first taste of contact rugby.

The club will be running the event on Thursday at the home at the Basingstoke Sports and Social Club in Fairfields Road, from 1pm to 4pm.

The afternoon will be run by RFU qualified Chineham RFC coaches and supported by RFU Development staff, and will aim to cover the core skills of rugby and give teaching staff a reference point from which to continue school sessions.

The sessions will primarily be for the players learning, but can also serve as an opportunity for teachers to refresh their knowledge and potentially pick up new ideas.

This is not a replacement for the existing fixture programme at Basingstoke RFC, but an additional offer.
