U16's player appears on TV tomorrow!

After months of filming it's Ava's time to shine......

Ava G (U16's Girls) was selected by the BBC a few months ago to appear in a documentary, following the life of a young female rugby player in the run up to the Women's World Cup.

Ava relished the opportunity and will feature on BBC Radio Leeds tomorrow morning (07:45) followed by an appearance on Look North tomorrow tea time. She will also feature on Newsround, with the date to still be confirmed.

The documentary, My Life: Rugby Girl will be aired on CBBC tomorrow (Monday) at 6.30pm and will then be available to watch on BBC iPlayer.

The whole process has been a fabulous opportunity for Ava, we are sure she will do us all proud!!

Here's what the BBC had to say...

As the Women's Rugby World Cup kicks off, one rising star has her eyes set on the top. Talented, fearless, and utterly dedicated, 14 year-old Ava is used to pushing herself to achieve her dream to one day become an England Red Rose. Attending the opening match and meeting her England heroes makes the dream feel closer than ever, but this summer, something unexpected shifts.

While training she's asked to support a younger player who's struggling to find her place in the sport. What begins as a distraction from her own goals soon becomes a powerful journey of connection, confidence, and discovery. As Ava helps someone else fall in love with rugby, she starts to realise what the game truly gives you - and why staying in it might matter more than any trophy.
