Whythe Comets?
 

Formed in 2002, the Comets are Mid-Warwickshire's leading girls rugby football team. They offer excellent coaching, regular competitive matches, high quality training facilities and a great opportuity to make new friends.
The teams play both 'contact rugby and also a non-contact version of the game, 'tag; rugby, suiting all tastes.

The team is actively recruiting new players - drop us an e-mail or join us at training on Wednesday nights at 7pm or Sunday mornings at 10.30am at Old Leamingtonians RFC.

The Experience

  • Founded in 2002, the Comets is the leading all-girls rugby team in Mid Warwickshire.
  • We train at Old Leamingtonians Rugby Club every Wednesday at 7pm and every Sunday at 10.30am – 12 noon.
  • Old Leamingtonians has a modern clubhouse, acres of playing fields, and dedicated girls-only changing facilities.
  • We have 38 girls playing regularly for our Club squads.
  • We are connected to the English Rugby Football Union for Women (RFUW).
  • All coaches have undertaken RFU coaching qualifications.
  • All coaches are checked and registered with the UK CRB Child Protection system; these checks are regularly updated. The Club has a child protection policy in place.
  • The club is backed up by a strong committee of volunteers and qualified First Aiders.
  • We offer two codes of rugby for you to experience;
    • Contact rugby, played in squads of 13 to 15 players plus substitutes, according to the RFUW laws of the game.
    • Contact rugby is structured into two squads:
      • Under 14s
      • Under 17s
    • Tag rugby, a non-contact version of the game, played in squads of 7 players plus substitutes.
      • You can play Tag rugby between the ages of 8 to 17.
  • We have competitive matches and festivals to attend every month. Everyone gets to play!
