Great article! We also run free Mixed Walking Rugby sessions at Moore RUFC each Thursday 7-8pm.
For Andrew and George, Walking Rugby has become much more than a game. It's something they can enjoy together as father and son.
Having been part of Warrington Wolves Community Foundation's Walking Rugby programme for the past two years, Andrew has seen first-hand the difference it has made to George's life. "It's probably the best thing that's ever happened to George. He was very quiet and kept himself to himself, but it's brought him out of his shell, built his confidence, helped him lose weight and allowed him to make a lot of friends."
For George, sharing the experience with his dad has made it even more special.
"It's amazing. We get to spend time together doing something we both enjoy."
While Walking Rugby provides a great way to stay active, stories like Andrew and George's show that the benefits go far beyond fitness. The sessions help people build confidence, develop friendships, feel part of a team and create lasting memories with those closest to them.
The pair were among more than 60 players from Warrington Wolves Community Foundation, Hull FC and Moore RUFC who took part in last weeks Walking Rugby showcase at the Halliwell Jones Stadium, demonstrating how the sport is bringing communities together through a shared love of rugby.
