Girls Play Rugby!
Rugby is a very sociable game. Girls get to know many players from other teams throughout the year and
look forward to meeting up with friends at the highlight – the end of season festivals.
The South Sussex Barbarians are a lively, friendly group who are looking for more girls to join them. No experience
is necessary just enthusiasm!
We welcome girls from ages 11 - 18 (school years 6 – 13)
Most girls know little
about the game when they start but progress very quickly.
We have had great success with most of our girls
being selected for the County squads and several selected for the South-East
England Regional squad.
To ensure girls throughout
Sussex
get the opportunity to play regular games, the Girls District League has been formed.Teams from across Sussex combine to form U12, U15 and U18 sides in one of four district areas.
South Sussex Barbarians are made up of
Lewes, Shoreham, Brighton, Hove, Newick, Plumpton and Uckfield RFCs
