Free Rugby 101 Clinic and Social

The Wisconsin Women's Rugby team welcomes all interested new players to attend our free Rugby 101 Clinic and Social on Sunday, August 31.

The clinic will start at 1 p.m. at Olbrich Park (3154 Atwood Ave., directions link below).

We'll wrap the clinic with a social at our team sponsor, Wilson's Bar & Grill, just a few blocks west of Olbrich Park.

Our clinic is a perfect way to check out the fun of rugby and learn the basics of a new sport. There is absolutely no experience necessary to attend this clinic.

For any former club or collegiate players, this is a also a great chance to meet some of our team members and pick up a ball again.

For more information, please call our team recruiter, Jen, at 612-327-7345.

Hope to see you there!

Memorial Tournament Provides Day of Fun for Wisconsin Women

The Wisconsin Women's Rugby team split into two teams to play each other in 7s at the Wisconsin Rugby Club's (our men's team) annual Stuart Daily Memorial Tournament on Saturday, August 9.

Our two teams - Team Awesome and Team Stupendous - battled physically in the match to the delight of the crowd and gave us all a chance to shake off our summer rugby rust. In the end, Team Stupendous claimed the win scoring six tries to Team Awesome's lone try.

The day of tournament fun was also capped by a major flip cup victory by the women over the visiting Texas Mercenaries men's team. We nearly swiped all of their cowboys hats too.
