Shrewsbury Lions Rugby

🦁 Your child doesn't have to be "a rugby kid" to become a Lion. 🏉

Ever thought about trying rugby league?

Maybe your child loves running around.
Maybe they love being part of a team.
Maybe they just have way too much energy and you need somewhere to put it. 😂

Whatever the reason, Shrewsbury Lions is a brilliant place to start.

We're back training from Sunday 13th September, welcoming new players into our younger age groups.

No previous rugby experience needed. No pressure to be brilliant. No league tables. No worrying about whether they're "good enough".

Just coaches who want kids to learn, play and have fun, and teammates who want to see each other do well.

🏉 Learn rugby league skills
💪 Build confidence
🤝 Make friends
😂 Have fun
🦁 Become part of the Lions

Our autumn and winter programme is all about development and enjoyment, before the festival season comes around again in the summer.

Come along, have a go and see if your child gets the Lions bug. ❤️🖤

📅 From 13th September
📍 Shrewsbury

🦁❤️🖤 More than just rugby.
Our Lions had an absolute blast at Leamington!

🏉 Flying tags 🤝 Teaming up with new friends 🎵 Dancing to the boombox 💪 Tug of war battles 😁 Smiles from start to finish
That's what festival rugby is all about.

A huge well done to every player, and thanks to everyone who helped make it such a fantastic day.

Play hard. Make friends. Have fun.

☀️ Three games in.
🥵 Blazing heat.
💥 One last push.

Two quick passes.
A race for the corner.
A full-speed dive.....and the cameraman's survival suddenly became questionable. 😂📹

The home side called him in touch. The video ref couldn't separate it.
But one thing wasn't up for debate...
Never back down. NEVER GIVE UP! ❤️🖤🦁

That's the Lions spirit.

🚨 TAG REF DECISION REQUIRED... 🚨

Brilliant link-up play. 🤝
A perfect pass.
A flying break for the line. 💨

But here's the question...
🏉 Try... 🟩 or Tag?

Did he ground the ball first, or did the defender make the match-saving tag?

We're sending this one upstairs... 🎥👀
What are you giving? 👇❤️🖤🦁

🦁🤝💙 One team. New friendships. Great rugby league.

A small group of our U9s & U10s headed over to NEW Ravens today, joining forces with some of their players to make a combined team for a brilliant morning of rugby.

Different shirts. One team.

Together they took on familiar rivals Coventry Bears and Leamington Royals with courage, teamwork and plenty of smiles along the way.

As Coach Greg put it:
"Well done our Under 10s today – great performances against Coventry and Leamington. Great effort teaming up with NEW Ravens. New friends made and great rugby league played."

Days like today remind us what grassroots rugby league is all about. A huge thank you to NEW Ravens for the warm welcome and to all the players who pulled together to make it such a great morning.
❤️🖤🦁

Smash and grab! Taking the direct route to the try line and riding three tackles on the way.

So much great action at our home Festival today and our under 9s & 10s showing off some of their training ground moves.

More highlights to come! 🦁 ❤️ 🖤
