Grove Rugby Football Club

Girls Rugby in Grove, Wantage & South Oxfordshire

---

Grove Rugby Football Club is proud to grow the game for girls across Oxfordshire. Following the success of our Ladies team, we’re building a clear, supported pathway for girls aged 11–16 to learn, play and love rugby — whether completely new to the sport or ready to develop their skills.

---

We welcome players from Grove, Wantage, Abingdon, Didcot, Harwell, Faringdon and nearby villages, offering a fun and family-friendly environment focused on confidence, friendship and teamwork.

Our Mission
To create a positive space for girls to discover rugby, have fun, make friends, and feel part of something special. Grove RFC is partnering with local clubs to ensure all girls have access to friendly and competitive rugby as we prepare for full team launches in the 2026/27 season.

What to Expect
Training for our girls’ programme follows the RFU Age Grade Rugby framework, focusing on:

• Safe, supported tackling and team play
• Game awareness and pathway preparation for senior Rugby
• DBS and RFU Qualified coaching, managing beginners and experienced players

All sessions are designed to build confidence, fitness, respect and teamwork, supported by qualified coaches who are passionate about helping girls enjoy sport at every level.
