Starting on Monday the 22nd The Leeds Rugby Foundation begins the first session at the Tryzone!!
Based in the purpose built Learning Centre at Headingley Carnegie Stadium, this is the beginning of an exciting three year programme of education projects with young people and families from all over Leeds. TryZone is funded by the Big Lottery and will initally work with young people between the ages of 10-13 years who need some extra support and their families to make a positive difference to their lives.
The pilot term will run until the summer, followed by a range of courses and projects over the next three years. Nigel, Janet and Kathryn from the Rugby Foundation Team, plus an amazing range of partners, guest speakers, coaches and deliverers will be working with pupils and families from 8 schools on three evenings each week.
In addition to learning new skills, participating in sport, completing challenges and meeting many inspirational people, pupils will be involved in the development and design of the centre activity rooms, designing a logo and producing promotional material for the TryZone. Pupils also have the opportunity to become a Junior Trustee for the Foundation.
