Uticuse Hellbenders Rugby

Rugby was originally a men's sport and women's rugby has become popular more recently. These days, women's rugby is gaining a higher profile thanks to International tournaments' exposure and financial investment.

The growth in popularity among women attracted women in both developed and emerging nations, being the fastest-growing sport in the world with over 500,000 new players joining every year globally. The game remains an amateur, minority sport but a fast-growing one played in over 80 countries worldwide. It is estimated that by 2026, 40% of the total number of players will be female! Do you want to be one of them?

Join Tracy at Uticuse Hellbenders Rugby (a women's team) located in Syracuse for an evening practice to get a feel for the game. If you love it, you can always return and play with them on a weekly basis. The club bridged the cities of Utica and Syracuse since 2008 and grew the team from a rag-tag group of diverse individuals, former rugby players, and newly interested ones alike to a State-Ranked Competitive Rugby Club.

Both their captains and coach will be on hand to help us with drills and cater the first practice to our experience level! So you have nothing to lose but a fun night of trying a new sport, which you might just want to try again.

Grab a girlfriend and join Tracy and her cousin Paige Amidon, a former SU Rugby player for a night of rucking, mauling, and scrumming!

We'll network after the practice with a drink or two. Part of the cost includes Tracy bringing water bottles and snacks for our attendees. Let's go Ruck!
