At Keele Rugby, we maintain a culture and an attitude of which we pride ourselves on, we are professional on the pitch and off the pitch. We ensure that we celebrate and socialise as a collective. As a club we pride ourselves on having a family atmosphere, sport at Keele is a fantastic way to meet like-minded people as well as providing an opportunity to help de-stress during term time.
We currently host two BUCS Rugby Union teams within the club, with the 1st Team playing in BUCS Northern 2A and the 2nd Team in Northern 5A. In addition to this we also have our 3rd Team, this is our development team, as a club we have a close link with the local Newcastle Rugby Club to ensure that all players get enough game time. On Wednesdays those not selected in BUCS games can train in our development sessions in order to further develop their skills. This enables those new to rugby to develop their basic skills from our training sessions in order to play in games and move up the teams.
Outside of rugby we host a range of activities within the university. As a club we host many charitable events, from delivering roses for students on Valentine’s day to our campus-renowned annual naked calendar. On the social side, we have weekly socials on a Wednesday in the Student Union which have a range of themes throughout the year.
By joining Keele Men’s Rugby you are not just becoming a member of a rugby club but joining a life-long brotherhood and the friends you make here will be life-long friendships.
