Canterbury Give It A Try is an 8-week programme in selected clubs where girls aged 8-14 can learn to play rugby in a fun environment.

The 2024 programme has been launched with over 80 clubs to choose from. Sessions will commence from April 22nd.

Great fun, lots of games and a gentle and gradual introduction to the game of rugby.

Now in its 7th year, former CCCGIAT participants are playing right up through age grade with a number now playing Interpro rugby at U18 level and some have made it up to Senior Interpro levels
