RUS
RUS is a unique club. Since its foundation on 18 September 1985, RUS has been the only rugby club in the Netherlands boasting female members only! RUS currently participates with one team in the Premier Division and with one team in the Second Division. This makes RUS the only rugby club in the Netherlands that has more than one women’s team playing the league! RUS practices on Wednesday and Friday evenings from 7.45 PM - 9.30 PM; matches are on Sundays. In September and October, we organize an introductory course where you can practice 5 weeks for 20 euros (this includes one month membership of Olympos), to see if it's for you! So whether you have been playing rugby for years or have no clue yet about the game, you are always welcome at RUS! Check the website for more information: www.rus-rugby.nl.
Practices, matches and social activities
RUS is a student club. This means that it welcomes students from Utrecht University, HU university of applied sciences and all other Dutch universities and universities of applied sciences. In addition to the practices and matches, RUS also organises a number of social activities. We organise an introductory weekend, a St Nicolas party, a New Year’s dinner, an annual trip to a secret destination, the Rugby Clinic Day, family day, ‘bitterballen’drinks, participation in tournaments and much, much more. These activities are organized by the members and make us a cohesive group on and off the field.
Even better, despite being a student club we achieve results at a very high level. Last year was our anniversary year and RUS 1 became Dutch champions for the fifth year in a row, which resulted in a few very good parties! But we also boast ten (!) RUS members in the Dutch National XV team as well as several RUS members in the National Sevens team.
