Junior Rugby Disability Sessions
Our Physical Disability RL sessions take place every Monday 5:30-6:30pm at our Kirkstall training ground.
These free sessions are for under 16s of all abilities. We currently have a large age range in participation, so our sessions are tailored to get people active and focus on the individual skills of Rugby League.
An adapted format of rugby for those with a variety of physical disabilities, such as visual impairment, cerebral palsy, and limb amputation.
Our sessions are led by 2 of our current senior PDRL team, Tom and Isaac.
Training takes place at the Bartercard Training Ground, Kirkstall, Leeds, LS5 3BW. Please note we do not have access to the inside facility, so the nearest toilets are located at the Morrisons opposite.
