WRFC About us

Welcome to our Club, renowned as a traditional rugby club, where you will find its conviviality hard to beat. It embraces all who care to visit.

LOCATION
Wimborne Rugby Club has been in existence in its present format since 1950 and is located at Leigh Park, Gordon Road on the eastern side of the market town of Wimborne in Dorset.
The Club boasts two playing pitches, changing rooms and a Clubhouse, comprising a large bar and function room, President's Lounge, Club shop and excellent catering facilities. These facilities offer a comfortable friendly atmosphere to members and visitors alike.

PERSONNEL
As a result of much hard work and unstinting enthusiasm by the membership over the past fifty years, Wimborne RFC has evolved into a thriving rugby environment. Contact details and photos of WRFC's current Club Officers and committee members can be viewed on our personnel page.

WIMBORNE LADIES / GIRLS have recently formed (2001), but are already thriving and successful. The ladies/girls section covers the 12 - 18 age group. The girls are trained and supported by a dedicated group of coaches and volunteers. If you would like to find out more, contact one of the Ladies coaching team, or come along to the Club on a Saturday morning between 10:00am and 11:30am and join in with their training session

Mini and Youth rugby is actively promoted at Wimborne and we celebrated 25 years of M&Y rugby at the Club four years ago (2003/2004). Excellent coaching standards and management attracts in excess of 300 junior players to the Club and it is arguably a role model for the Dorset and Wilts region. Aims and objectives focus on encouraging boys and girls of all ages and abilities to participate in a team game for the fun and enjoyment of the game itself. Rugby is a game where values are as important as playing. The values of sportsmanship and fair play are taught as an endemic part of the game, alongside playing skills.
If you, or your child, would like to find out what it's all about, then contact any of the Officers in the Mini and Youth section, or turn up at the Clubhouse on a Sunday morning between 9:30am and midday. You will be made most welcome.
