The Dragons ALLSTARS - proudly sponsored by GP Shipping - consists of both a male and female contact mixed ability rugby teams and mixed touch rugby team. The provisions and teams were established to provide opportunities for disabled and non-disabled players to play contact or non-contact rugby together.
All abilities are welcome as training sessions and games are tailored and conditioned to suit everyone’s needs and abilities. You can train from 16 years old and play at 18.
We are always looking for new players to add to our growing squad.

Dragons ALLSTAR Inclusive Touch
ISC – Cwmbran, Torfaen
We are an inclusive touch rugby club based in Cwmbran for disabled and non-disabled children, young people and adults. We are mixed gender and currently have over 40 players.
We started in August 2025 with just six players training once a week, and just over a year later the demand from families has meant that we have expanded to two weekly sessions.
We currently train:
- Mondays – Coed Eva Primary School 4G pitch, 6pm–7pm
- Fridays – Halo Cwmbran Stadium, Main Sports Hall, 6pm–7pm
Our current groups are:
- Development – ages 7–11
- Pathways – ages 12+, including adults
People don’t need any previous rugby experience to get involved. The important thing for us is creating an environment where everyone feels welcome, included and able to participate at their own level.
Although rugby is the vehicle, what we are trying to achieve goes much further than sport. A huge part of our work is about reducing social isolation, improving wellbeing, building confidence and independence, creating friendships and giving players and their families a genuine sense of belonging within their community.
Anyone interested in getting involved can contact us at dragonsmixedtouch@gmail.com, through our social media, or simply come along and meet us at one of our sessions.
