Open Age Training – All Welcome at Orrell RUFC!
Rugby is a game for everyone — and at Orrell RUFC, we mean it. Whether you’re a seasoned player, someone who hasn’t picked up a ball in years, or completely new to the sport, you’ll find a warm welcome waiting for you at our Open Age training sessions.

We’re proud to offer a friendly, inclusive environment where enjoyment comes first. There are no trials, no cliques, and no pressure — just a chance to get stuck in, have fun, get fit, and be part of a brilliant rugby community.

Fully Qualified Coaching Team
All training is led by fully qualified and experienced coaches, including a number of new faces joining us for the upcoming season. Our coaching team brings fresh energy, top-level experience, and a real passion for developing players of all backgrounds and abilities.

Whether your goal is to push for first team rugby, get back into the game at your own pace, or simply enjoy the social side of training, you’ll be supported and encouraged every step of the way.

Why Rugby?
Playing sport is about more than just physical fitness — it’s a powerful boost for your mental health and wellbeing too. Getting out on the pitch, being part of a team, and sharing a few laughs on a Wednesday night can do wonders for reducing stress, lifting your mood, and giving you a real sense of belonging.

At Orrell RUFC, we understand how important that is. We’ve created an environment where people look out for one another, and where mental wellbeing is taken just as seriously as physical performance.

When & Where
Training takes place every Wednesday at 6.45pm at the Dr1ve Medicals Arena at St John Rigby College. We train hard, but we make sure there’s always time for a chat, a laugh — and usually a pizza or pint afterwards, too.
