HITZ uses rugby's core values of teamwork, respect, enjoyment, discipline and sportsmanship to support young people not in education, training or employment (NEET) back into education, training, apprenticeships and/or employment, and is delivered nationally by England's 12 professional rugby clubs.
Our core offer, the HITZ Learning Academy, offers a relaxed environment targeted at 16-18-year-olds to improve their functional maths and English, develop valuable life skills and gain important qualifications alongside experience from work placements and employer-led sessions. The programme also offers essential enrichment and sporting activities which support the development of the whole individual through not only improving their mental but physical wellbeing as well.
HITZ is funded by partners Land Rover, Comic Relief and Wooden Spoon. Please visit www.HITZrugby.com to find out more.
We have many HITZ programmes which we run across Greater Manchester:
