We train from 8pm until 9.30 pm on Tuesday and Thursday. On Thursdays, after our joint warming up there will be "introduction training sessions" for those girls that don't know a lot about rugby yet but are looking to learn more about it!
Where?At
AAC Rugby, Sportpark De Eendracht (Bok de Korverweg 6, 1067HR Amsterdam, Phone number club house: 020 6110719).
Bus 21 and bus 192 stop in front of the sport park. The name of the busstop is "Freule Wittewaalpad.
You can also reach it by car or bike, of course.
For whom?
All girls from 16-........... You can always come and train with us for a few weeks to see whether you like it!
Facilities?
There is a dressingroom, so you can get changed and have a shower afterwards. Then join us in the clubhouse for a drink. We can also use a fitness room/gym. Some of the other girls will be training there before the regular training session and they will be happy to help you out if you are interested.
What to wear?
Bring a strong t-shirt or rugby shirt and rugby shorts. Of course you don't have to wear those in your first sessions, regular sports shorts will be great to start with! Also bring shoes with studs (football boots or "hockey boots" or if you don't have those regular running shoes). A gumshield (mouth piece/ "bitje") comes in handy, you can buy those for a few euros in regular sports shops.
What's the team like?
We are a mixture of girls: young and (almost ;-)) old, short and tall, fast and a little bit slower, very experienced and just starting, shaping up and very fit ;-). We have in common that we like rugby and that we enjoy playing together and training together. We all hate it when the showers are cold and we all like it when "new" players are starting to get interested in our sport too! We had a very succesful season last year and we look forward to sharing that succes with the latest additions to our team. Don't hesitate to come over and join us!
