Rugby

Grasshoppers RFC has a long tradition of rugby, from our meagre beginnings in the 1950s to today's senior teams. We cater for boys and girls, men and women of all ages and abilities.

Find out more about each of our sections below.

Rugby - Seniors

Grasshoppers RFC runs four sides for adult men - 1st XV, 2nd XV, 3rd XV and Vets Rugby.

Rugby - Juniors

Our Juniors build self-confidence, establish strong robust team principles and most importantly enjoy training and playing the game.

Rugby - Minis

We teach children about teamwork, the virtues of hard work, dedication and determination, but most importantly to enjoy playing so they have a positive experience of rugby.

Rugby - Girls

Our objective is that every girl who joins Grasshoppers will have an enjoyable experience playing the game of rugby in a safe and secure environment.
