Is your son or daughter facing the prospect of facing a summer with fewer sporting activities than they had over the winter? Are you looking for a way to keep them off Fortnite for an hour a week? Well if so Ilkeston Rugby Club may have the solution.

With the terrible winter weather we've had and the lack of game time and training we experienced, we felt it was the right thing to do to put on an hour per week over the summer to keep the kids running around and playing games.

Each week we will put on a different sport, including football, cricket, rounders, netball etc....there might even be a bit of touch rugby.

This is designed for players who aren't otherwise involved in other sports over the summer - it isn't meant to replace pre-season training.

There will be an element of physical education, including structured warm ups, fundamental movement skills and education about muscle groups. Depending on numbers attendees will be spilt up by age with probably 7-9, 10-12 and 13+ groupings.

If you are keen, all you need to do is come down to The Stute on Wednesday evenings in suitable clothing (no studded boot please). It is entirely free of charge and is designed to be all about having fun.
