Winter Warrior virtual sessions
- Community Foundation to deliver Winter Warrior virtual sessions.
- One-hour long sessions to start on Saturday 6th February.
- All participants should have received a Zoom code for the virtual call.
Wigan Warriors Community Foundation are set to deliver virtual training sessions as part of the 2021 Winter Warrior programme.
Starting on Saturday 6th February at 10:30am, the Foundation will be running an hour-long session on Zoom for the 500+ participants as an add on to the sessions that were previously suspended.
The training programme – scheduled to be delivered in January and February – was postponed due to the current Covid-19 lockdown.
The virtual Zoom sessions will be led by Community Foundation staff and volunteers and will involve working on core Rugby League skills, such as catching, passing, gripping the ball and playing the ball.
Two sessions are scheduled for this Saturday and next Saturday, with hope to plan more sessions following Government guidance in mid-February.
Community engagement officer, Tom Marsh, said: “I’m really looking forward to running the session on Saturday. I think it will be beneficial to get the young Wigan fans back into some rugby action, especially during these difficult times.
“Unfortunately, due to current restrictions we can’t do it at Robin Park Arena just yet, but fingers crossed we will be able to soon.”
All participants will need the following equipment when on the Zoom call:
- Rugby ball
- Football
- Tennis ball
- 50p coin or £2 coin
- Pair of socks x3
Alternative equipment:
- Cushion/pillow instead of rugby ball/football
- Ping pong ball/socks instead of tennis ball
Everyone who signed up to the programme should have received a Zoom code to the email you initially registered with. For more information or issues regarding the code, please contact Tom Marsh via email at t.marsh@wiganwarriors.com
Everyone who signed up to the camp can be assured that their 2021 season ticket will be issued to them once they have been officially launched by the Club. Everyone will also receive a Winter Warrior training top once the first official session has begun.
