GIRLS RUGBY AT ELLENBROOK VIPERS
Our Girls. Our Story. Our Future.
There’s a place for girls in rugby — and we’re building something special at Ellenbrook Vipers.
Whether you’ve grown up around rugby, played another sport, or have never picked up a rugby ball before, we want girls to have the opportunity to come along, give it a go and discover what rugby can offer.
It’s about more than learning how to play.
It’s about confidence, strength, friendships, belonging and being part of a team.
No experience needed. No pressure. Just come and have a go.
