Sports and Recreation at South London Rugby Football Club

Looking for a place to play, watch or just enjoy rugby in South London? You’re in the right spot. Our club brings together players of all ages, fitness fans, and anyone who loves the buzz of a good match. Below you’ll find practical advice on how to join a rugby sevens club in East London and ways to get involved with our own community.

Finding a Rugby Sevens Club in East London

Step one is simple – go online and type “rugby sevens club East London”. Most clubs have a website or a Facebook page that lists training times, locations and contact details. Look for names like East London RFC or Barking RFC; they regularly welcome new players.

Next, hit the local sports centre. Many centres host open evenings for sevens squads. Walking in, asking the receptionist or checking the notice board can point you to a club that fits your schedule.

Don’t forget community events. Street fairs, school sports days and charity matches often have club reps handing out flyers. Grab one, ask a question, and you’ll get a direct line to a coach.

If you’re still not sure, try the RFU’s club finder tool. Enter “East London” and filter by “sevens”. The list comes with contact emails, so you can shoot a quick message saying you’re interested.

When you reach out, be clear about what you’re looking for – a friendly environment, regular training, or just a chance to play on weekends. Most clubs will invite you to a trial session. Show up, bring a water bottle, and be ready to have fun.

Get Involved with South London Rugby

Our own club offers a full calendar of matches, training sessions and social events. Whether you’re a seasoned prop or a complete rookie, there’s a place for you. Check our “Teams” page for age groups and skill levels, then sign up for a trial. It’s free and takes just a few minutes.

Want to stay up‑to‑date on match results and upcoming fixtures? Follow our news feed or subscribe to the weekly newsletter. We post scores, player highlights and info on community outings – all in plain language, no jargon.

Volunteering is another easy way to join the scene. Our match days need helpers for ticketing, refreshments and ground prep. You’ll meet members, learn the ropes and get a behind‑the‑scenes look at how a club runs.

Fitness fans can also use our facilities. The club’s gym is open to members, and we run Saturday conditioning sessions that focus on strength, speed and agility – all key for sevens rugby.

Remember, the goal is to enjoy the sport and meet people who share your passion. Whether you end up at a club in East London or stay right here in South London, the steps are the same: search, visit, ask, and play.
