Women’s rugby club empowers SBCC students

Womens+rugby+club+empowers+SBCC+students

After a 38-year absence, City College has brought back the women’s rugby team.

The women have been using a learn-as-you-go approach, with an emphasis on team spirit. What the players lack in experience they make up for with passion and tenacity. To these girls rugby isn’t just a sport, it’s an opportunity to empower women and form a family like bond.

Practice is held on Tuesdays and Thursdays at UCSB, and Mondays and Wednesdays at Eelings Park.
