Get ready for summer evenings of rugby and good vibes at summer touch!
Running every Wednesday evening for six weeks, we'll have the mixed youth session from 6-7pm followed by mixed adults from 7.15-8.30pm.
The bar will be open throughout the evening and we have a brand new offering of outdoor yoga with Suffolk Yoga running alongside the youth session - perfect for parents or as a warm-up for the adult session! Scroll down for more info on the yoga sessions.
Our touch rugby sessions consist of small-sided games with volunteer refs, with the winners of each game progressing to play other winners in a relaxed tournament set-up. There's plenty of support for those who are new to rugby and teams are organised at the start of the session - so don't worry if you're turning up on your own!
Touch rugby is a great way to get a taste of the game, try something new and keep fit while having fun. Both the youth and adult sessions are open to all - current IRFC players, new players and total beginners - and there's no need to book, just turn up on the night.
All you need to bring is a pair of trainers and a water bottle. Don't forget suncream if it's hot!
Youth touch rugby: 6pm to 7pm
We invite all boys and girls aged 12 to 16 to come and give it a go!
Senior summer touch: 7.15pm to 8.30pm
Come and see what IRFC is all about, whether you're thinking about a new club or want to try rugby for the first time.
Outdoor yoga with Suffolk Yoga
We're excited to offer outdoor yoga alongside touch in collaboration with the amazing team at Suffolk Yoga.
Starting a week after touch, the first yoga session will be on Wednesday 4th June from 6pm to 7pm, then every Wednesday until 2nd July.
Running alongside youth touch, these yoga sessions are perfect for parents bringing the kids along or as a warm-up for the adult touch session!
Suitable for all ages and abilities, and all you need is a towel and a mat (but there will be spare mats available). We ask for a minimum £5 donation for each yoga session, with all proceeds going back to Ipswich Rugby Club.
No booking required - just rock up! But if you have any questions, email Jules from Suffolk Yoga at: contactsuffolkyoga@gmail.com.
Suffolk Yoga is a local yoga studio based near Ipswich waterfront, offering yoga classes for all abilities 7 days a week. We're really excited to be working with Jules and the team to provide something new for our members and the local community.
