A NEW rugby play programme has been launched in Bradford.

Rugbytots, which runs across 17 different countries, will now be able to be enjoyed by children in the district.

The programme is aimed to at two to seven year olds and is based around having fun, while teaching little ones how to catch, pass, kick, run with the ball and play as part of a team.

It launched in Bradford on Sunday and the Lord Mayor of Bradford, Councillor Zafar Ali, was in attendance to mark the grand occasion.

Classes will run every Sunday outside at Bradford and Bingley Rugby Club.

From September, the classes will then run inside at Beckfoot School.

There are also plans to potentially run weekday classes in schools and nurseries.

People can book a free taster on our Summer term by emailing the team at neil@rugbytots.co.uk.
