Give It A Try 2022
What is Canterbury Give It A Try (GIAT)?
The Canterbury Give It A Try camps are an 8-week programme run in selected clubs where girls aged 8-14 years can attend in order to learn how to play rugby in a fun environment.
The programme consists of a coach education element, fun rugby sessions, teaching the girls the basics of rugby. The clubs are responsible for the running of the programme in their area but with Provincial Branch and IRFU assistance.
This year there are 93 Give It A Try Clubs all over Ireland starting their camps between May 2nd and May 9th.
For fun, friendship and a life’s worth of lessons, there’s #NothingLikeIt
