We're all set for the #KidsRound as Dragons face DHL Stormers in the BKT United Rugby Championship this Friday evening - with lots going on around the stadium for younger fans!
A first-ever Kids themed round will take place this weekend as part of the league’s ambition to encourage inclusion in our sport. Under the umbrella of the BKT URC’s Take on Tomorrow social purpose strategy, the Kids Round follows on from the previous success of the Unity and Origin themed rounds which have celebrated diversity, families and grassroots communities to great effect this season.
This weekend the BKT United Rugby Championship will activate ‘Kids Round’ with the overall goal of championing the next generation of sports fans, providing the opportunity for involvement across the match day and event participating in key roles - and at Rodney Parade we have lots going on!
Kids will have the opportunity to ‘takeover’ a number of match roles with us, includiing:
- Junior Chairman
- Junior Stadium Manager
- Junior Journalist
- Junior Kit Manager
- Junior Community Manager
As part of Kids Takeover, we will have inflatables for young fans to enjoy on the outside field, stilt walkers (from 6.30pm) and a number of mascots – including Mario, Sonic, Stitch, Baby jj, Yoda, Peppe & George Pig, Baby Dinosaurs, Bluey, Mickey and Minnie, Spiderman, Roblox, Paw Patrol and Lol dolls – walking around the stadium from 6pm.
Meet the Dragons and Stormers at full-time!
As it is the last home game of the season, both sets of players will remain out on the pitch at full-time to hand out URC balls, sign autographs and pose for pictures. Fans will be invited to the enter the pitch by stewards by Rodney's Bar and the corner of the Compeed Terrace and North Stand.
