Dutch Girls Rugby

Even though Girls' Rugby is still growing, girls still play mixed competition with the boys in The Netherlands. However, the ratio is hardly ever more than 10% girls vs. 90% boys. Unfortunately, it is not yet possible to set up a competition on national level because the clubs and regions  simply don't have the capacity. There is a lack of volume. 

At this moment there is no clear pathway for identifying, selecting and developing motivated and talented rugby girls. Only boys can be identified as talents and are thus eligible for selections and scouts for the National Youth Teams. 

In cooperation with Rugby Academies Netherlands (RAN) we want to support Girls' Rugby in the Netherlands by nurturing our girls' presence, motivation and their ambitions before they can go to the Senior Ladies Teams once they are U18. It hardly ever occurs that girls are allowed on U18's Boys' squads due to the physical aspects.We have  U14, U15, U16 Teams.
