Women’s Rugby North West
Welcome to the temporary web site for Women’s and girls rugby in the North West of England. This site is intended to act as a resource and focal point to help the sport develop. Women’s (senior) and girls rugby has grown rapidly recently and the region boasts a team in the Premiership and many talented players at all the current age groups (Senior (>18), Under 18 and Under 15). We hope you find the information here helpful and will encourage you to participate in rugby as a player or coach (details of clubs in your area are attached), to learn more about the sport, to help us develop the sport in the area or to support the sport via sponsorship, attendance at matches or promotion in the community.

If you have any questions, or would like to talk to someone about women’s or girls rugby please feel free to email me or to talk to local Rugby Football Union for Women (RFUW) or RFU representatives in your area.

Thank you in anticipation of your support.

Strength & Conditioning programme
The dates for this season’s Strength & Conditioning programme are given below. The programme is designed to have desired outcomes that will improve players ability to play the game; stronger, fitter and faster. Bi-products of a good conditioning programme can be injury prevention & reduced rehabilitation time from injuries. For players with aspirations to play to the highest levels of the game the introduction of a structured conditioning programme is a must, it shall assist them to compete at those levels. Attendance is by invitation only.

Michael Eccles shall once again be the coach of these sessions, for those of you who are new to this Mike is one of the S&C team at Salford City Reds RL. He also has the added knowledge of playing rugby (both codes) to a high standard, so he has a very good understanding of what a top rugby player needs to be able to do on the pitch. All sessions will be at Philips School, Higher Lane, Whitefield, Manchester M45 7PH.

N.B.: Mike shall be assessing you individually & devising programmes accordingly, but there shall be some generic exercises.

Equipment Needed: Please bring suitable clothing for indoor gym work & field based activities, i.e. appropriate footwear for both. Do not forget to bring drinks plus a snack for after the session; its important you re-hydrate & re-fuel.
