Walking Rugby for Over 50's and people new to the sport is a great way to start getting your activity levels up in 2025.
 
Sessions are on Wednesday evenings at 6.30pm - meet outside the Clubhouse at 6.15pm (Trafford MV RFCC - M33 6LR)
 
It is minimal contact, played at the players own pace, includes good catching and passing skills and adds competition to your walking exercise.
 
Sessions last for an hour and they are outdoors on grass so open to the elements and as such require studded/well gripped footwear and clothing to suit weather conditions.
 
There is a good social side to the group too as we stay behind for a social drink and chat and take on occasional meals/outings.
