Tackle Girls! Women's Rugby news and stories


 
 

Women's rugby is challenging, exciting, and a lot of fun. Each of us has our own experience, and sharing these experiences is the fastest way for us to grow as players and as a sport.

Tackle Girls would love to hear what you have to say! Share your funny stories, training tips, or anything else you think would be of use to other lady ruggers, coaches, or teams. If your story is posted, you will be rewarded!
