Beginnings of the WildBears.

The team first met in September 2015 thanks to Łukasz Łucka, the organizer of a project ‘Trenuj Rugby League w swoim mieście’ (‘Train Rugby League in your town’). The project was advertised by various means, e.g. social media.

Some of the players has already known each other, meeting e.g.  on the sport venue belonging to the 25th  Cavalry Brigade in Tomaszów Mazowiecki (yet they hadn’t trained Rugby League there). Trainings has started on Orlik on Nowowiejska Street where we were trained by already mentioned Łukasz Łucka. About ten men started training with us, but this number was constantly changing.

    Meantime, we had sparrings with local groups as well as teams coming from foreign countries. We used our newly learned skills to play with teams from Czech Republic, Hungary, Irleand, the Great Britain and Canada – we played mainly in Polish national colours, being the stem of the national team.  In autumn, 2015 Wild Bears won Rugby League 9’s Polish Cup organised in Tomaszow Mazowiecki.

Members of our team willingly take part in various cultural events taking part in our city in order to show the beauty of Rugby League. Seeking for new players, we have also started series of meetings with young people from upper-secondary schools and we have organised free trainings of Rugby League on PE lessons in schools. We constantly want to develop our knowledge and skills so we take part in various courses made by Rugby League – thanks to this, some of our players got certificates for umpires and trainers.
