some new players trying their abilities
in the pre-season training. The playing
squad for 2015-16 is not yet fully finalised.
“Leicester Lions has an active and
developing mini and youth section. With
a dedicated group of coaches for the mini
and youth section we are keen that this
develops and these youngsters have a
good experience of rugby and stay with
the club into the senior sides.
“We are a community club - we have good
links and have drawn local players into
the club at mini, junior and senior level.
We offer the ability to play rugby across
a wide spectrum of levels of abilities.
We are also taking the formation of a
ladies section under consideration and
development.
“Construction of a new clubhouse
has commenced and is expected to be
completed by the end of December
2015. The club will then have a new club
house, three pitches - one of which will be
floodlit, plus a floodlit training area. An
excellent facility. We envisage that that
the new clubhouse and improved facilities
will increase the commercial potential,
although we consider it is important that
we remain as a community rugby club.
“Our biggest challenge and ambition over
the coming years will be to maintain and
develop interest in playing and enjoying
rugby at all relevant levels.”
It is clearly an exciting time for everyone
involved with Leicester Lions as they look
to continue to develop. With the new
season just around the corner they appear
to have everything in place to enjoy a
successful campaign and everyone at
Rugby Club Magazine would like to take
this opportunity to wish them the best of
luck for the future.
