Introduction

The Leeds University Rugby Programme offers a unique and thrilling opportunity for students to experience almost professional rugby structures whilst studying at one of the best universities in the UK.

The Club

Club Moto: Marching on Together “proficiscor in una”.

The Leeds University Rugby club runs 4 teams every week, with an incredible 120 registered players. Over the years, our club has formed a player development partnership with the Leeds Carnegie, Yorkshire, RFU, Otley (National 2) and Ilkley . This will see players who want to combine a good education degree with a pathway in to professional rugby. Being part of university rugby, as a student you will be in the most ‘professional’ rugby environment around, outside of the professional game. A university player will play on average 20-32 games of rugby a year; will have team training two times a week, on top of an individual or unit session two morning a week, complimented with three weight training sessions a week! Each player however, is carefully monitored by the excellent Mike Farandino, who heads the strength and conditioning programmes for the university.

Every year all 4 teams compete against Leeds Met in the varsity fixtures. The 1st Xv have the honour of rounding off the day of sport by playing at Headingley stadium in front of a crowd of up to 15,000 people.

Mission
