Newark Ladies XV

Facts about Women's Rugby

There are lots of excuses people give us about why they can't play rugby...

"It's too rough...I don't know the rules... I don't know how to play...I'm not fit enough... I'm too old...I'm too fat...I can't catch...I can't run...I don't know how to tackle...I'm not the type..."

Think AGAIN!

Let's put this into perspective...

Lots of our team have been playing rugby for less than a year and they all started from scratch as beginners..

It's easy to pick up! Yes - there are rules, but most of us don't know them anyway! The main thing is it's fun and we have a laugh trying to play..

Fit? Who me? We have lots of levels of fitness in the team, some are quite fit, the rest - well they're not basically! It doesn't matter, all shapes and sizes can play rugby..

Can't catch? Can't run? Can't tackle? Sounds familiar - that's why we practise at training during the week. None of us are super-stars and many of us haven't been playing long. It doesn't matter..

Too old? You have to be joking! You have to be 16+ to play ladies contact rugby and we have players aged from 17 years right through to ladies with teenage children!
