In a bold move that is set to send shockwaves throughout the rugby league community, Wigan Warriors Community Foundation has launched a pioneering initiative to extend its rugby league delivery in Lancashire. This groundbreaking project is part of the Lancashire Rugby Development Plan, a comprehensive strategy aimed at increasing participation, developing talent, and fostering a lifelong love for the sport.
At the heart of this initiative is a series of engaging and interactive activities designed to introduce children to the fundamentals of rugby league. The program, which was recently launched at Balladen Community Primary School, features a unique blend of educational and entertaining elements, including assemblies, coaching sessions, and games.
The event at Balladen Community Primary School was a resounding success, with children from the Rossendale Primary School participating in a fun-filled afternoon of activities. The highlight of the event was the official opening of the School’s new Multi Use Games Area (MUGA) by Mighty Max, the Wigan Warriors mascot.
The MUGA is a state-of-the-art facility that will provide children with a safe and enjoyable environment to develop their physical skills and learn the fundamentals of rugby league. The facility is part of a broader initiative to improve children’s mental and physical well-being through sport.
Wigan Warriors Head of Community Foundation, Danny Fullerton, emphasized the importance of the initiative, stating, “We are thrilled to be extending our rugby league delivery in Lancashire. This initiative is a key part of our strategy to increase participation, develop talent, and foster a lifelong love for the sport.”
The Club’s Rugby League Development Manager, John Whalley, added, “We are committed to working with schools and communities across Lancashire to grow the sport and provide opportunities for children to develop their skills and reach their full potential.”
As the initiative continues to gain momentum, it is clear that Wigan Warriors Community Foundation is revolutionizing the way rugby league is delivered in Lancashire. With its innovative approach, commitment to grassroots development, and passion for the sport, the Foundation is unlocking the full potential of rugby league and inspiring a new generation of players, coaches, and fans.
