University of Staffordshire - Women's Rugby Club

Welcome to the Staffs Women's Rugby team!

Staffordshire Women’s Rugby club is an enjoyable environment for all. We welcome people with all levels of ability. Everyone is welcome, to be a part of our team, to play rugby and make friends. Rugby is a sport built on good sportsmanship, as a club we believe in upholding this standard of being friendly and fair on and off the pitch. We play each game with a smile on our face and never take being on the pitch for granted. Being a part of women’s rugby involves some great social events. One of the best thing about being a part of women’s rugby is playing the sport you are passionate about alongside your friends.
