Walking Rugby in Surbiton
Surbiton Decca RFC is introducing Walking Rugby sessions in Berrylands every Saturday throughout the 2024/2025 season, catering to those seeking a gentler, yet still competitive, form of the sport. Walking Rugby is perfect for older adults, those recovering from injury, or anyone looking for a low-impact way to stay active and engaged.
What is Walking Rugby?
Walking Rugby is a fun, inclusive, and social variation of the traditional game, designed for all ages and abilities. Whether you’re new to rugby or a seasoned player, walking rugby offers a fantastic way to stay active, enjoy the sport, and make new friends.
In walking rugby, the pace is slower, making it perfect for those who prefer a gentler form of exercise. The rules are simple and adapted to ensure everyone can participate safely:
- No running: Players must walk, which reduces the risk of injury and makes the game accessible to everyone.
- Non-contact: Tackles are replaced with a touch or tag, promoting a safer and more inclusive environment.
- Smaller teams and pitch: Games are played on a smaller pitch with fewer players, ensuring everyone gets involved.
These sessions emphasize fitness, coordination, and social interaction, providing an inclusive environment where participants can enjoy the camaraderie and strategic elements of rugby without the physical demands of running. By offering Walking Rugby, Surbiton Decca RFC is expanding its reach, ensuring that rugby remains accessible and enjoyable for all members of the community.
Join us at Surbiton Decca RFC and experience the joy of walking rugby. It’s a great way to stay fit, have fun, and be part of a welcoming community!
Walking Rugby sessions take place on Saturday mornings at 10:00 at Elmbridge Avenue, Berrylands, KT5.
