The Leeds Rhinos Foundation are this year featuring a Community Club of the week following the weekend home fixtures and this week’s club in the spotlight is one of our community clubs Chapeltown Cougars.
Chapeltown Cougars are a junior Rugby League club for boys and girls playing league and friendly games against similar level clubs. The club get support from Chapeltown Youth Development Centre and Leeds Rhinos Foundation as a developing club.
The club has been running since March 2011 when it was established by coach and director Steve Walker. There are now a number of other volunteer coaches and parent volunteers supporting the club.
The club is open to children from five years-old, and we have Under-8s and Under-12s teams in the Yorkshire Juniors League, with plans to introduce an Under-7s team in 2016.
They train on a Wednesday evening at Prince Philip Centre, Scott Hall Avenue, LS7 2HJ, 5-7.30pm, and play league games on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
The club ask for £1 for Wednesday evening and £2 for Saturday morning training sessions and games. If you would like to join them please call Avril on 07708 000035 or come along to a training session!
