Ellingham & Ringwood

About us

In Under 14s, our focus is on the girls having fun, making new friendships and developing their fundamental rugby skills. This two year age group (school years 8 & 9).

Our club has an excellent, long standing, reputation for women and girls rugby. We are a hub for girls rugby within the New Forest, attracting players from schools and clubs from the surrounding areas. There are approximately 30 girls in this age group; some have played since they were 4 years old, whilst others are experiencing rugby for the first time.

Our experienced, RFU qualified, coaches are committed to ensuring an 'inclusive approach' to training and matches. We adapt and differentiate activities to ensure that girls gain confidence, make rapid progress and continue to be challenged within every session. In addition to numerous friendly fixtures and tournaments, we also enter the girls into the Inter County Cup competition. Fixtures are usually played on a Sunday afternoon.
