Rugby
Rugby is a team sport that originates from England. To the untrained eye rugby is a game where a number of large players struggle to move an oval ball from one part of the field towards the goal line of the opponents team. While this sport may appear rough its players maintain good sportsmanship by respecting each other and their opponents.
Rugby is a great sport to keep you fit and active, as well as learning new skills and making new friends. You play by passing backwards and placing the ball on the try line behind the goal posts. It involves tackling the ball-handler and the games vary as to the types. Such as touch, sevens or union (the most popular). With over 400 million viewers it is a very popular sport. There are loads of clubs in Essex if you want to start playing rugby such as Bancroft, Epping, Dagenham and more. Essex rugby is looking for more girls to start playing. So, give it a go you may just love it. There are posters put up around school for the Wanstead RFC club who are specifically looking for girls aged 7-17 to join. New players are welcome!

What is Bancroft?
Bancroft is a wonderful community of girl and boy rugby players, where we do training sessions and matches (Wednesdays and Sundays for girls, Tuesdays and Sundays for boys )
Girls Rugby team
The Girls team is a brave, strong and supportive group of girls. We start training at 19:00 and end at 20:30 unless you also want to join in for the Strength and Conditioning which starts at 18:30 with Joe Warrick and Abby. Sometimes we do different meetups at different clubs such as Hackney, Southend or at Bancroft We all go together as united Rugby Players to do a training session and probably a match too. We also have some professional Rugby Players that come to teach us new skills and improve the ones we already have in order to become better rugby players.
Boys Rugby team
The boys team is an exceptional team of strong, fast and skilled group of players. They start rugby at 18:00 and end at 19:00. They can also have matches whether it’s in Canvey Island or at Bancroft.

We are partnered with the Epping Rugby Team, which we altogether call, ‘Eppcroft’.
Overall, Bancroft is an exceptional community of players and we are willing to have anyone who is interested come on down! Bring some boots and a gum shield then you're ready to play.
We hope to see you there!
