The Verulamian Warriors
Women's & Girl's Rugby
The success of the Red Roses has brought rugby into the spotlight for girls and women of all ages, but the stark reality is that there are still not enough role models at individual club level and the recruitment of girls into contact rugby continues to be difficult.
We are really excited to see the growth in our Women’s division over the past couple of years, but we also recognise that there is a long way to go before we are able to deliver on our long-term vision of being able to field Girls only contact teams for each of the Age Band Grades within the RFU’s Mini and Junior Framework.
The Warriors were formed in May 2022, and what started as a 6 week Summer programme for Women 16+ , linked to the RFUs Inner Warrior initiative, has grown into a weekly session with a squad of over 30 players. The current format of the senior team is touch rugby, but we are looking into how we can develop opportunities across all formats of the game and would love this to also convert to a senior contact team in time.

Training:
Seniors: Wednesdays 19:15-20:30
We are also focussing and investing into our Mini Warriors and are now offering a girls only session on a Friday night. We hope that this will build unity and the Warrior identity amongst the girls in the club with a view to protecting their long term position at the club as they age out of mix team rugby, and we try to build our junior section of Warriors.
Training
Minis: Fridays 18:00-19:00
