New city. New sport. New team. ππ
If you're a student in Nottingham, Derby or Leicester looking for something outside your uni bubble, we'd love you to come and play rugby with us at Long Eaton.
We're a warm, welcoming grassroots club just outside the city, with a strong women's section and a proper community feel.
We've made it as easy as possible to give it a go:
π Your first session is completely free, just turn up
π Student membership is Β£25 a month (usually Β£35)
So you can try it without committing, and if you love it, join without it wrecking your budget.
Whether you played for your school for years, tried it once in Freshers, or have literally never picked up a ball, we've got 4 ways to play so you can find what fits:
π₯ Midlands Champ 2 (competitive contact)
π₯ Midlands Central NC3 (contact)
π₯ Inner Warrior Series (developmental contact for those newer to the game)
π₯ T1 Touch Rugby (non contact, social, all abilities welcome)
Contact squads train Tuesday and Thursday, 7:30 to 9pm at West Park. Hot meal provided after every session.
T1 Touch runs on Friday nights, perfect if you want the social side of rugby without the contact, and a proper way to reset before the weekend.
We've also got joint training links with University of Nottingham and Loughborough University, so if you're already playing uni rugby and want more game time, come and have a chat.
The best way to get started?
Come down on any training night and see for yourself. First one's on us. No pressure, no experience needed, just a friendly hello waiting for you.
