The responsibility for the promotion of the Game within the Community falls as part of the Leisure Rugby Team.  This responsibility is shared with the other departments within the RFU and its member clubs / organisations.

The RFU''s Leisure Rugby Team attends a wide variety of events where the game is marketed and celebrated to attract interest and raise awareness of what can be played and where.  The main areas of interest are where there are a significantly high percentage of the population in attendance especially where any of the RFU"s partners target groups.

The RFU have a range of different promotional vehicles and resources which are provided to benefit the community game in supporting events.  Local clubs are actively encouraged to make use of these to aid recruitment and retention of members.  Events are supported in accordance to the underlying principles of Leisure Rugby though the following examples highlight priority areas:

• Corporate exhibitions
• County Shows
• Club Recruitment Days
• County Sport Partnership support
• Local Authority schemes
• Other non-rugby major sporting events e.g. Cowes Week, Badminton, Tall Ships Race, Houses of Parliament Sports Days, Air shows etc  

If you are running an event we may be able to support it.  Please complete an Event Notification Form and email to: leisurerugby@therfu.com .  Pleace click here for an explanation of the form.
