Give It A Try

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 2025 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 9th year, former participants are playing right up through age grade with a number now playing Interprovincial rugby at U18 level and Senior levels inlcuding Ellen Boylan of Munster and Alman Atagamen who was named in the Ireland Women’s Squad for the Six Nations.

Below is the list of clubs for 2025…..Go on GIVE IT A TRY
