Hear From the Young People Enrolled
On International Women’s Day, we had the privilege of speaking with three inspiring female players from TackleLondon. Their stories showcase how rugby builds confidence, resilience, and a sense of belonging. While this video highlights the experiences of our female players, rugby at TackleLondon is for everyone, regardless of gender. The benefits of the game are universal, and we’re proud to support all young people on their journey both on and off the pitch.
