GIRLS TACKLE RUGBY
A programme born at the same time as the Sale Sharks Women team, Girls Tackle Rugby is designed to get as many girls as possible playing and enjoying the sport. If you can see it, you can achieve it. This is all about creating genuine opportunities for young girls in the North West.
We recently commissioned Manchester Metropolitan University’s Institute of Sport to research the programme and the results highlighted that just 60 minutes of rugby per week can improve girls’ physical literacy and wellbeing. Click on the link to find out more and watch our Insight Report video.

Tackle Together
Tackle Together is the Foundation’s leading disability and inclusion schools programme, delivered in partnership with MBNA.
The programme sees Foundation coaches bring inclusive rugby sessions to Special Educational Needs (SEN) Schools across the North West. The initiative aims to empower children and young people by helping them learn new skills and experience the joy of rugby in an accessible and welcoming environment.
Wheelchair rugby sessions are also offered to mainstream schools to educate children and raise awareness of disability sport, offering pupils the chance to experience this for themselves.

HITZ on TRACK
HITZ on Track is a 6-week programme which we delivered in secondary schools across Manchester working with 14-16 year olds at risk of becoming NEET. The programme focuses on RSHE curriculum and issues affecting young people today. HITZ staff can engage with young people on a level that can be difficult for traditional school teachers to establish.
We work with different schools ranging from girls-only to pupil referral units (PRU). Although our resources provided us with 6- weeks of structured delivery, we understand that some schools may need more specific delivery therefore we could be flexible into the areas we concentrated on for example, the PRU school we delivered at needed more specifically self-esteem and mental health based sessions therefore we catered the 6- week programme to this need.
