**For everyone who wants to try rugby!**

From September – October, Lugi Lions Rugby Club is organizing introductory training sessions for anyone (15+) who wants to give rugby a try. For 6 weeks, two days a week, for one hour, experienced coaches will explain the basics of the game and guide you through simple exercises, such as passing and catching a rugby ball, running lines so your teammate can pass to you, tackling and being tackled.
