Website Mission Membership Benefits

Mission
The Women's Touch Rugby Club is the most active, engaged and FUN club on campus. There are three key tenets that drive our club:

1. Inclusion
This is a club for both athletes and women who have never played a team sport (or any sport) in their lives! We actively seek to create a diverse community of MiM, MBA, MFA, EMBAL, MIFT, etc., students and partners. We also have a social membership option available for those ladies who want to be involved outside of playing activities. There is no "typical WTRC woman." This is a club about forming deep relationships during and well beyond your time at LBS.

2. Achievement
We are achievers! We held the the title of World MBA Touch Rugby champs in 2018 and narrowly missed out in 2019. Unfortunately, we lost the chance to win in 2020 & 2021 due to COVID, but are hopeful we can achieve that title again in the 2022 season! We practice twice per week (fitness, drills and scrimmage) and we build a team of champions from a group of women who have probably never played touch rugby! Beyond the pitch, we offer mentoring, 1:1 interview prep sessions and alumni career advisory sessions to help our ladies achieve more in their careers. WTRC seeks to make its members successful on and off the pitch!

3. Empowerment
We want to create an empowered team of women at LBS and beyond. We offer mentoring, career prep and social activities to create a strong bond between women at LBS and beyond. We believe that playing team sports is both a bonding and empowering experience!

Membership Benefits
There are too many membership benefits for us to put in a paragraph!

> Two practices a week in Regent's Park (fitness, drills and scrimmages)
> DUKE USA trek (ask around...it is the best trek at LBS!)
> European short tour
> Games against other MBAs (Cambridge, Oxford, etc.)
> Tons of socials (pub golf, brunches, holiday rugtastic Saturday, prom, frequent brunches etc.)
> Alumni events and tournaments
> Fitness studio classes
> Career prep (1:1 interview prep, coaching sessions, mentor program)
> Spring league

It's easy to join and prior touch rugby experience is COMPLETELY not required. Whether you decide to play (which we would love) or join as a social member, we are so excited to have you as part of WTRC for our next incredible season!
