London Skolars Rugby League and Exchange Data International (EDI) announce that Sportsmatch has been granted for their 2008/2009 joint EDI Urban Rugby programme.
The EDI Urban Rugby programme reaches out to children and teenagers in inner-city estates and seeks to raise sporting participation for young people. Urban Rugby is a modified, non-contact version of Rugby League promoting healthy living and respect. It aims to help reduce crime levels and anti-social behaviour. Following the programme, participants are invited to join their Local Skolars Community sports club to develop their sporting practice further.
