Further details of the Ospreys Open Day at Llandarcy on Saturday 4th August have been confirmed, including details of how to register for some of the sessions that will be taking place throughout the day.
The first time that the Ospreys have ever run an Open Day, it will allow fans to get a close up look at day-to-day life at Llandarcy and see what goes in behind the scenes in areas that are normally out of bounds to all but the team.
An action packed day will see skills and training sessions for younger fans delivered by community coaches and players, with a public training session from the first team being the undoubted highlight of a fantastic day designed to bring team, supporters and partners together ahead of the new season.
With places in each session strictly limited supporters are advised to register in advance for those that interest them to avoid disappointment, details of how to register can be found below.
As well as all the rugby fun, there will also be entertainment provided by The Wave, official radio station of the Ospreys, with popular presenter Phil Hoyles broadcasting his regular Saturday morning Welsh Chart Show live from Llandarcy, giving away goodies and special prizes from 10am.
The Ospreys Supporters Club will also be in attendance, signing up new members before the first home game of the season, the match against Bath at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday 18th August, and our primary sponsors RWE npower renewables will also be on site allowing you to find out more about their work in the local community. There will be refreshments available from the Sports Café on-site, ensuring energy levels remain topped up throughout the day, which runs from 9am-2pm.
