The goal of this atelier is to have fun learning the basic rules of rugby!

During the atelier, we will focus on how to understand and play rugby, with special focus on attacking, passing and defending (without tackling).

Each day we will start with some warm-up exercises, then we will do to some specific exercises (each day we will be focused on a different topic) and we will end up playing rugby touch.

The only requierement is to bring some sport clothes and want to enjoy the course! Previous experience is not necessary.
