Let’s be real, girls rugby isn’t about tiaras and tea parties. It’s about grit, glory, and getting absolutely covered in mud. It’s about the kind of laughter that comes from tackling a teammate (and then helping her back up). It’s about pushing your limits, discovering strength you didn’t know you had, and being part of something bigger than yourself.
Forget the stereotypes. Rugby for girls is a powerhouse of skill, strategy, and sheer determination. It’s watching a young player nail a perfect pass after weeks of practice. It’s seeing the spark ignite in someone who thought they “weren’t sporty.” It’s the raw, unfiltered joy of a try scored after a hard-fought battle.
And that’s where we, the volunteers, come in. We’re the ones behind the scenes, making it all happen. We’re the coaches, the first aiders, the kit washers, the team managers, the sideline cheerleaders. And honestly, it’s one of the most rewarding things you can do.
Why? Because you’re not just helping a team; you’re building a community. You’re witnessing firsthand the impact of sport on young lives. You’re seeing shy girls become confident leaders, and quiet players find their voice. You’re part of a support system that fosters resilience, teamwork, and a whole lot of fun.
It’s not always easy. There are rainy training sessions, last-minute fixture changes, and the occasional lost gumshield. But the moments that make it worthwhile are the ones that stick with you:
- The beaming smile of a player who’s just achieved a personal best.
- The collective roar of the team after a hard-won victory.
- The quiet satisfaction of knowing you’ve played a part in helping these girls thrive.
- The genuine comradery between all of the volunteers.
Volunteering isn’t about having endless free time or being a rugby expert. It’s about having a passion for seeing girls succeed. Whether you’re a seasoned coach or someone who can simply make a mean cup of tea, your contribution matters.
If you’re looking for a way to give back, to be part of something meaningful, and to experience the pure, unadulterated joy of girls rugby, then join us. We’re always looking for enthusiastic volunteers to help us grow this incredible sport.
Come be a part of the mud, the mates, and the magic. You won’t regret it.
