Richmond Rugby Club has teamed up with Age UK Richmond to offer walking rugby classes for those over 55.
The taster course is eight weeks long, takes place every Thursday at 10 am, and costs £35.
Promising to be much more than playing rugby, coaches focus on mobility, hand-eye coordination, and socialising.
After the first session took place last week Vaughan Bentley, head of community at Richmond Rugby Club said: “They came back and had absolute smiles on their faces.
“They were so happy.”
The course is open to a whole host of abilities and fitness levels…
The charity has found that in the past they’ve been perceived as only having activities like knitting groups.
Their classes now however extend to walking rugby, walking football, ukulele lessons, and even classes on how to play video games…
If you’d like to join the group on Thursdays at 10 am, you can call Carol on 0208 744 1965 or book here.
