Dragons Girls Cluster Rugby Centres

The Welsh Rugby Union are introducing new Rugby Cluster Centres for girls to access rugby opportunities during April to July for a two season trial.

Katie Vizard | 20/04/2016

These centres are aimed at girls from the age of U9s through to U15s.

The aim of these centres is to give girls the opportunity to explore all the fantastic options that rugby has to offer including, tag, touch, and contact rugby in a girls only environment; something that doesn't currently exist for under 13 year olds.

The centres are based predominantly out of rugby club sites and will have their own unique identity to encourage as many girls to take part in rugby and ensure that consolidated numbers attend to give the girls the best experience possible.

Within the Newport Gwent Dragons region there are 5 Cluster Rugby Centers. The details of these Girls Centers are:
