GLOUCESTERSHIRE GIRLS RUGBY HUB

The Old Pats has teamed up with Stow, Tigers, and Tewkesbury rugby clubs to give local girls the best possible chance to play rugby, meet new friends, and keep fit. No experience is necessary.

We train and play at all four club locations, so you get to enjoy the facilities and scenery at all four great GRFU club locations.

We also run TASTER DAYS to give girls a chance (whatever their experience) to give it a go in a fun, safe, no-pressure environment.

Girls’ rugby in the UK has seen a significant rise in popularity in recent years. Participation levels have been steadily increasing as more girls are drawn to the sport. Rugby clubs across the county and country have been actively promoting the game among girls, offering opportunities for training and competition.

Schools also play a crucial role in introducing girls to rugby, with many incorporating it into their sports programs. Additionally, initiatives by organisations such as the Rugby Football Union (RFU) have aimed to encourage more girls to take up the sport, providing resources and support for clubs and schools.

The success of the England women’s national rugby team, including their World Cup victories, has also helped to raise the profile of girls’ rugby and inspire young players. Overall, the growing popularity of girls’ rugby reflects a positive shift in attitudes towards women’s sports in the UK.
