Meet us at practice every Tues, Wed, and Friday from 4:30-6:30 on Memorial Field! And come support us at our games on Saturdays!!!
The Amherst College Women's Rugby Football Club is a student-run club sport that competes in the New England Wide Collegiate Rugby Conference (NEWCRC Rugby), a Division II Women's Collegiate Conference. Everyone, regardless of skill level, is encouraged to come out to a practice or game and see what the sport is all about - no experience required! We practice three days a week and play games on Saturdays during both our fall and spring seasons.
