Discover the Fun and Friendship of Walking Rugby in Pontypool
Looking for a new way to stay active, meet friendly people, and have a great time? Walking Rugby might be exactly what you’re looking for.
At its heart, Walking Rugby is about smiles, laughter, teamwork, and community. It’s a fun, social version of rugby played at a walking pace, making it accessible to people of all ages and fitness levels. Whether you’re a lifelong rugby fan or have never picked up a ball before, you’ll be warmly welcomed.
Why Walking Rugby is Worth Trying
Here’s what makes it so popular:
-
Suitable for everyone

-
Active but low impact
Played at a fast walking pace, it’s a great way to improve fitness, mobility, and coordination without the intensity of traditional rugby.
-
A welcoming atmosphere
The sessions are relaxed, supportive, and full of encouragement — perfect if you’re trying something new.
-
No experience needed
You don’t need any rugby knowledge or special skills to take part. Just turn up and give it a go!
Join Us Every Thursday
