Mental Wellness Initiatives

It is more important than ever to take care of your mental health. To help clubs mind their members, the Leinster Rugby Covid Sub-Committee has put together the following information, your club and members may find useful.

To stay connected, members can be encouraged to set up their own Zoom groups, by age group or team

While we cannot train as a team, does not mean we can’t stay fit and ready for when training resumes:
