Tigers community coaches will be at Melton RFC running tag sessions, which are free to enter and for players in years three, four and five.
Tigers director of rugby Richard Cockerill is due to drop in and the young players can sign up to the Junior Tigers Club for free.
The event runs from 10am to noon on Sunday at King Edward VII Upper School Sports Centre in Burton Road, Melton and pupils in years three, four and five at schools in the Melton area are invited to attend.
It is the culmination of the Aviva Premiership Rugby Schools Programme, which Tigers coaches have been running in Melton Schools.
The programme included a six-week introduction to rugby and Tigers work with teachers to continue with tag once our coaches have left. Sets of equipment and teaching resources are distributed.
Melton RFC hosted a tag festival in March to complete the programme. The event was attended by Tigers players Thomas Waldrom and Pieter Myburgh.
By holding the fun day, Tigers and Melton RFC hope to create a legacy and encourage young players to continue playing the sport.
“We would like to thank Melton RFC for their support,” says Tigers rugby development officer Benjamin Woods. "The local club structure is vital to ensure the legacy of the programme.”
The Aviva Premiership Rugby Schools Programme is being run by all 12 Premiership Rugby clubs. The programme represents a significant investment by Aviva into grass roots rugby that will go towards supporting more than 15,000 man hours of coaching and reaching more than 36,000 pupils aged 9-11 years old from 600 primary schools in England over each of the next four seasons.
