The Upper Valley Rugby Club is currently looking for players for both the Mountain Men, a New England Rugby Football Union (NERFU) Division 4 Men’s Team, and the Valkyries, our NERFU Division 3 Women’s+ team.

Our players range from their late teens to mid-40s, and come from all walks of life. We include scientists, farmers, engineers, nurses, doctors, contractors and folks in the business world. Our inclusive group is united by the love of the game and a desire to have fun and keep fit. While helpful, previous experience and athletic ability are not required and all body-types are welcome to join us. We are dedicated to providing a safe and inclusive environment for all.

Rugby is a fast-paced and immensely fun game, combining the physicality of football with the speed and grace of soccer, while adding a unique camaraderie and social dimension enjoyed by over quarter of a million players in the United States. Played in teams of 15, the sport requires a wide array of skills and has positions for many different types of players!
