30 girls from around Warwickshire attend Old Leamingtonians free girls’ rugby camp, the camp was organised by Old Leams Women’s team, who took up coaching the girl’s section over a year ago.

The camp focused on all round player development for players who were picking up a rugby ball for the first time to team building, for the more experienced players individual positional skills & unit skills, the senior OLS players, passed on tips to the new generation.

The women’s side at Old Leams are really passionate about creating a fun environment for girls to play rugby and the girls section has gone from strength to strength with the support of the senior side who are currently top of their league.

The Girls Team’s train on Wednesday night 6.30pm – 7.30pm new players are welcome to come a long and give rugby a try, no experience is required, we even find a pair of rugby boots to borrow for the evening. So if you are in year 7 to year 12s.

Drop us a message to take part. olswrfc@googlemail.com or just turn up The Crofts, Bericote Road, Leamington Spa, CV32 6QP.

Women & Girls Chair Gemma said “ Hosting a free girls camp has always been something we wanted to do as a club, we have run several RFU Inner Warrior Camps in the evenings, but we want to offer a little bit more for the girls to get a real taster of what it’s like to play rugby at one of the oldest teams in the country. It was important to make the day free of charge, meaning girls from all background are able to give rugby a try”.

Old Leams Women’s side started back in 80s by Helen Aims. We have seen several international coming through the minis & juniors’ sections over the years. More recently this season 6 players have represented Warwickshire at under 18s & Under 16s, and maybe we will see more Old Leams player follow in the footsteps of Heather Fisher, Lois Moulding, Therese Kennedy who played for their country & who started their rugby at Old Leams.

Big thank you to the The Four Penny Hotel, Restaurant & Pub for sponsoring the day
