Premiership Rugby Establishes TRY Rugby Program For South American Youth

A new scheme from Premiership Rugby will offer children and young people in South America the opportunity to play a new sport through its TRY Rugby program. The program offers disadvantaged youth a chance to learn new skills such as leadership, social inclusion, teamwork and respect and also supports the worldwide growth of rugby as it prepares to make its Olympic debut at the 2016 Games in Rio. With just two years to go, Premiership Rugby has teamed up with the British Council and Social Services of Industry in Brazil to offer more training schemes to Brazilian schools and local clubs that will aid child development by using rugby as a tool for social change (Premiership Rugby).
