RGS SPORT

Your games session will be every Tuesday afternoon. PE lessons will be at a range of times throughout the week depending on which form you are in and you need only come in your PE Kit. There is no need to wear specialist equipment to PE lessons. On days when students have PE or Games they should come to school in kit including the tracksuit bottoms and their blast fleece. All kit must be labelled. Your games session will be Tuesday afternoon. You should wear:

GIRLS: Games/hockey polo shirt (school design), blast fleece top and bottoms (school design), games skort, blue and white games socks, sport specific trainers or hockey astros, gum shield and shin pads.

BOYS: One reversible rugby shirt (school design), navy blue shorts (school design), blue and white games socks, blast fleece games top and bottoms (school design), rugby boots (or trainers) and gum shield.

There are school teams in most sports with fixtures throughout the week, including Saturdays. If you want to be in a school team you will be expected to attend training sessions, some of which are after school. If you are not selected straight away, don’t give up. The teams change round a lot during the first year and you may find yourself moving teams!

There are also many clubs on offer at RGS, both at lunchtime and after school. There will be a clubs fayre in the first week where you can find out about all the clubs and activities on offer at RGS. Try out the different clubs and see what you like whether they are sport clubs or others. You may find that Art Club or Weather Club is the one for you, or you may want to show your political side at the Junior MUN. There is something for everyone.

Pre-season training for Years 8-13 (Second Form – Sixth Form) runs prior to the start of the academic year and this year will take place from Wednesday 30 August – Saturday 2 September.

For those keen to get ahead with their hockey and cricket, we will be running sports camp on the RGS Hartswood pitches.

RGS uses Opro as a mouthguard provider. We will liaise with you prior to the end of the summer term.
