Kidderminster Carolians Ladies: https://www.facebook.com/groups/388936686167085

Our ladies team is up and running and into season 2. We train every Tuesday and Thursday night: 7-8.30pm, under the coaching care of Stuart Such and Nathan Jones. Our squad comprises of over 20 ladies and we play in the Inner Warrior (Midlands) league. We're still recruiting new players and would love to hear from you if you fancy having a try out:

Not sure what our sport could do for you? well look no further then below for some great reasons why:

1.The challenge - Rugby is a mental and physical game that requires a certain grit and determination; being faced with the challenge to defend and prevent a team from scoring or getting that last try for the win is a great way to push your mind and body to the limits.

2. Friends for life - It may sound cliché, but for many rugby players the bond between your club and team mates is what makes up your extended family. You literally go through blood sweat and tears with these people. It’s not just about the 80 minutes on the pitch, it’s about the social off the pitch as well.

3. Being part of something special - Playing team sports like rugby gives you the opportunity to create history through winning titles or pulling off that incredible win against a tough opposition for the first time. Women's rugby is one of the fastest growing sports in the world and now offers huge opportunities and a clear player pathway from amateur to elite levels.

4. A chance to stretch the legs and flex those muscles - Simply jogging or going to the gym doesn’t work for everybody if they want to get fit. Put a ball in your hands, add a group of like minded people and some mud and you are away. As a player you can be powerful, but you have to channel it in different ways, whether that’s driving in a scrum or trying to outpace a defender.

5. Everybody is welcome - No matter what shape or size you may be or where you are from, you can do it. Find your strengths and play to them.

6. Build confidence and skills for life - Since picking up a rugby ball, a lot of current players believe they have gained more confidence in themselves and their abilities as well as building their self-esteem. In a rugby team environment you also have the opportunity to develop leadership skills (not always easy with so many different people) as well as teamwork skills – all of which are transferable into work and everyday life.
