Within RugbyClub Amsterdam there is a diverse range of rugby activities with teams in the majority of the target groups.
Incomplete target groups are stimulated and facilitated.
We try to offer something for everyone in a form that suits needs, age and development.
We also expect self-reliance. That's what a club with volunteers runs on. We are building the club together.
Youth
Play Youth
Girls and boys 5 to 12 years old
From the age of 5 you can play rugby without competition until the age of 12. It is mainly about fun and safety.
The real competition only starts after the minis.
There are 4 age categories:
– Guppies < 6 years
– Turven < 8 years
– Benjamins < 10 years
– Minis < 12 years.
Guppen and Turven play Tag Rugby, where there is no physical contact.
Benjamins and Minis are already playing more contact.
Competition Youth
Girls and boys 12 to 18 years old
From the age of 12 you will play competition.
Trainings are more focused on the match and it is tough.
There are 3 age categories:
– Cubs < 14 years
– Juniors < 16 years
– Colts < 18 years
The older you get, the more rugby rules from adult rugby will apply.
In the youth league you play for the National Championship.
Seniors
Gentlemen
From 18 years and above
Our gentlemen play under the name Mokum XV in the 3rd division Men's North-West.
A mix of experienced players, expats and newcomers complement each other in a very friendly, but also driven team.
The goal is to have multiple teams in the league.
Ladies
From 18 years and above
Ladies regularly come to us with the request to play rugby.
The aim is to set up our own women's department. To do this, we need enthusiastic ladies and initiators.
Necessary facilities and support are of course provided by the club.
Veterans
From 35 years and above
Some of the players in the senior team have already passed the age.
Veterans play by invitation, attend national veterans days and Oldies Tournaments.
Recreative
Touch Rugby
All ages, for everyone who can walk and run
Every Tuesday is touch evening for parents and interested parties.
During these evenings, the kids are in training, you learn something about rugby as a parent or layman and you work on your fitness in a pleasant group.
Walking Rugby
For the elderly, who want to exercise in an accessible way
Specific form of rugby for the elderly with a focus on fun exercise and maintaining social contacts.
Family Training
For families and supporters
Periodic family training sessions, which take place in principle every second Tuesday after every school holiday.
An accessible training, where young and older children with friends and their parents are welcome.
A pleasant hustle and bustle on the field, where a lot of fun is experienced by all.
Mixed/All abilities
For people with disabilities
Safety often makes the regular offer inaccessible to people with mental and/or physical disabilities.
That is why alternatives for a pleasant sports experience are emerging within rugby communities for this group.
