EOI – Y9-13 Tackle Rugby

Girls’ Rugby 2026: Let’s Make it Happen!

Expressions of Interest (EOI) are now open. Let’s Build Carmel Rugby – whether you played or missed out last year, or have never touched a rugby ball but keen to give it a go. We want you. This is not a commitment to play.

What we are offering:

  • Composite Teams: This would allow our players to compete and continue developing their skills alongside others while we work towards establishing full, standalone Carmel College teams.
  • “Contact Ready” Clinics: We understand that safety and confidence are top priorities. Harbour Rugby will be offering specialised tackle and skills clinics. These sessions focus on safe technique and physical preparation in a supportive environment, making them perfect for both returning players and total beginners.
  • Y9-13 Tackle Rugby Season Expression of Interest Form
  • EOI Signup closes Wednesday 11th March, alternatively, come speak to Becs in the Sports office.
