School Holidays

School Holidays

The York RLFC Foundation regularly host busy school holiday programmes for children across York and North Yorkshire.

The aim is not only to inspire the next generation of Knights and Valkyrie players, but also to play a vital role in helping make holidays more enjoyable. These events are generally made up of our familiar free, outreach community sessions, and a series of day camps.

Our October programme is made up of funding awarded by the Local Ward Committee and activities arranged in partnership with the City of York’s ‘Give it a Go Week.’

Please, can we ask all participants attending any session to wear suitable sports clothing and check the individual session details for who the sessions is aimed at and whether you need to book in advance or not.
