About Us
The Ackworth Jaguars Juniors section was established on November 1, 2020. Our journey began with a legacy of passion, tracing back to the founding of our open age team in 1960. Inspired by former coach and Leeds Rhinos legend, Rob Burrow, after his MND diagnosis, we revived the club from a hiatus.
A charity game for Rob sparked a resurgence, leading to our re-entry into the Yorkshire League. Since 2020, when we started with just 10 players, we have grown significantly. We now have 4 teams playing in the Yorkshire Junior League and over 80 players at the club. Our goal is to ensure the club’s continuity with a steady stream of young talent.
