S1-S6 (Junior Girls Rugby)

Junior Girls Rugby

Our Junior Girls section is one of the fastest-growing parts of Highland Rugby Club, and there's never been a better time to get involved. More and more girls are discovering just how much fun rugby can be – making new friends, building confidence, learning new skills and being part of an amazing team.

Whether you've never picked up a rugby ball before or you've played for years, you'll find a warm welcome at Highland. Our friendly coaches and teammates will help you feel at home from your very first session, supporting you to learn, improve and enjoy every step of your rugby journey.

Rugby is a game for everyone. It's about courage, teamwork, resilience and having fun together. Every player brings something different, and every player belongs.

So why not come along and give it a try? You might just discover a sport you'll love, lifelong friendships and a team that's waiting to welcome you.

Communication

We use the SPOND app to communicate with players and parents about training, matches and club updates.

Please:

Download SPOND to an appropriate device
Speak to your team manager or coach so they can add you to the correct group
Keep notifications turned on so you don't miss important updates

If you have any difficulty with SPOND, please email: do@highlandrugbyclub.com

We also encourage families to follow Highland Rugby Football Club on Facebook and our other social media channels to keep up with general club news and social events.

Kit & Equipment

For training, players can wear anything that's comfortable (and warm!), but they must have:

Rugby boots
A mouthguard
A water bottle

Highland Rugby Club merchandise is available from the club shop or online via Highland Rugby Club Merchandising | Club Shop Macron
