Young people aged 5 to 19 are given the opportunity to take part in a team sport, meet new people and enjoy exercise in a safe environment.
Our scheme delivers a wide range of sessions and courses including rugby and other sports, health, social inclusion and educational programmes for children in Airedale, Castleford and West Yorkshire.
