Give a Try

Un essai qui nous réunit

Who are we ?

Give a Try asbl is a Belgian association founded by members of the Royal Kituro Rugby Club (players, coaches, managers, supporters, friends), who wanted to use sport to support an international solidarity project. The club, established in 1961 and renamed "Royal" in 2011, is a major institution in Belgian rugby. It has built its reputation on a strong tradition: youth development, sporting excellence, and community engagement. Give a Try extends this legacy by developing a structured sports cooperation program with Burundi.
