.TRALEE Rugby Club is putting out the call for new female players to give rugby a try.
‘Canterbury Give It A Try’ is an 8-week programme in selected clubs throughout the country where girls aged 8-14 can learn to play rugby in a fun environment.
Organisers promise it will be great fun, with lots of games and a gentle and gradual introduction to the game of rugby.

The 2026 programme has been launched over the summer with over 80 clubs participating. Now in its 9th year, former participants are playing right up through age grade with a number now playing Interprovincial rugby at U18 level and Senior levels.
The first session of Give it a Try will take place on Wednesda, July 8 at 7pm in the rugby club, and will run each Wednesday.
Parents can also download the Clubzap app and join the Give it a Try 2026 chat group to get up to date information.
Tralee RFC chairperson, John Hickey, said they are “looking forward to a great few weeks where girls can get a taste for rugby, or if they already play they can get their pre-season in!”
