WCRU Girls Rugby Camp - Expressions of Interest Please
9 Jun 2026

The West Coast Rugby Union is exploring the possibility of delivering a Girls Rugby Development Camp and Festival Day during the second week of the July Term 2 holidays, between 13–19 July. 

The purpose of this Development Camp is to provide opportunities for all junior through to secondary school girls to grow their skills, knowledge, and passion for the game of rugby. It aims to build confidence, connection, and enjoyment as part of the rugby sisterhood that the West Coast Rugby Union hopes to strengthen within our girls.

We want to hear from players and Whānau to understand what opportunities would be most valuable, accessible and enjoyable for girls across the Coast.

Your feedback will help shape any future programme and determine whether there is sufficient interest to proceed.

The goal is for the programme to run across 3–4 days (depending on numbers). Days 1–3 will focus on skills, technique, and development. Day 4 will be an all‑girls festival day, where participants from the development days will play a game of rugby against each other — girls vs girls!

Please indicate your expression of interest by using this link to answer the questions to help the union get a clearer idea of what this programme might look like for our community.
