The Big Yellow Inner City Schools rugby project is the culmination of a desire to see rugby flourish in an urban area and for young people to benefit from team sport.
Rugby isn’t a sport you associate with urban areas, it needs considerable space whereas Basketball and Football don’t. In fact, urban areas generally lack structured community sports clubs that can be the focal point of family life.
Unsurprisingly, schools in London generally lack the facilities to play organised team sport, most pupils therefore miss out on all the benefits associated with teamwork and healthy competition.
At Southwark Rugby Club we could see the amazing untapped raw talent surrounding the club and luckily so could Big Yellow’s CEO James Gibson.
