Rugby (W)

Welcome to the University of Strathclyde Women's Rugby Club!

Our collective club mission is to promote the sport of women's rugby, to develop our game performance, and to encourage a positive team spirit among all players. Whatever your experience level (even newbies), we welcome you to get stuck in and join one of the most rapidly developing clubs on campus.

We field one competitive team in the top BUCS Scottish league 1A on Wednesday afternoons and we train twice a week at Stepps Playing Fields.

As part of the university's partnership with Glasgow Warriors, we have a fantastic coaching team in place to encourage player growth and development, both at on field training and at strength and conditioning sessions at Strathclyde Sport.

The club will be running preseason beginning in late September and any potential new members are welcome, for more details fire us a message on our facebook or insta page.

Membership – what do I need?

1. Sports Union Membership – this is a flat £30 fee for the year (or £20 for one semester) which goes directly back to the club to fund various club activities and operations, including:

• Personal accident and public liability insurance
• Coaching fees, competition entry and transport costs, club equipment and external facility hire

2. Sports Club Bolt-on Fee – we also charge a £25 joining fee for the year (or £20 semester only) which is charged to subsidise additional sport specific costs such as buying and maintaining equipment. This fee is charged on top of the Sports Union membership and again, goes directly back to the club and participants taking part in our activities.
