Emma Women's Rugby Football Club
All you need to join Emma’s women’s rugby team is a desire to have loads of fun, both on and off the pitch! The majority of us had never played rugby before joining Emma, so having experience or even kit is definitely not necessary – our coaches teach us all from complete novice level. Also don’t be put off by the word rugby...we play sevens, where the emphasis is much more on ball skills (and a little bit of fitness!) than an ability to flatten the opposition.
We usually have a relaxed training session and a match once a week as well as quite a few socials throughout the term. It’s a great way to take up a new sport and meet lots of nice people without making a massive commitment...of course if you do get keen, there is always the university team.
To give women’s rugby a go and see if it is for you just email Nat (nc340), sign up at the Fresher’s Fair, or simply turn up to one of the training sessions.
