In these unprecedented times, we are all having to find new ways to encourage young players to Dartfordians. Unfortunately for our girls' section COVID this has taken its toll as our successful "Fun Festivals" so they are not currently an option for us, so we have come up with another plan.

We are looking to run a FREE after school club at Darts every Tuesday from Nov 10th - Feb 23rd @ 16:00-17:00 (weather permitting) and the sessions will be aimed at girl's school year 2 to 6 (age 7 to 11)

The sessions will comprise of fun game-based activities where the age groups can mix, learn, have fun, build up their confidence and grow friendships. If any of the girls then wish to participate in the mixed club rugby at the weekend, they will also be able to do this and we will provide parents' details of these weekend sessions. If any of the girls want to continue playing after February, we would encourage them to join the club as members. (This has all been agreed with Jarrod and the DRFC Exec team)

So here is where I need your help, I need volunteers to help with the following - please remember we will have to adhere to all government and RFU COVID guidelines for sport: (approx. 15:30-17:30)

Setup/run/work on the admin/registration desk - taking temperatures, hand sanitiser station and contact details
Provide first aid (let hope it's never needed)
Setup/run one of the fun game-based activities - the plan will be to have as many different activities at the same time then the kids rotate around - It does not have to be RUGBY related but it MUST be fun ?
General helpers, talking to parents (2 meters apart) handing out information as requested about rugby at Darts across all age groups and all sections, Minis, Juniors, Seniors etc. General Club promotion

I know this is a BIG ask as this is a working day, but I also know that by giving plenty of notice some of you might be able to work this into your busy schedule. Our club is successful due to our wonderful volunteers, so if you can help in any way at all please contact me to advise. No experience needs just a willingness the help J

Many thanks
