Bath women's team on the horizon

Bath rugby have pledged their commitment to the growth of the women’s and girls’ formats of the game in the region and hope to soon have a team competing in the Premier 15s tournament. 

A considerable period of research has been conducted with regard to the idea and a three year strategy has been outlined which involves the following four transformational objectives:

• PLAY - To double the number of registered players across our region, supported by the appointment of a new Women’s Rugby Development Lead. 

• SUSTAIN - To develop a sustainable and inclusive pathway to the elite game across our region for players and coaches; achieved through partnering with clubs, schools and universities, and supported by the appointment of a new Pathway Lead. 

• PERFORM - To form a professional women’s team, partnering with Bath Rugby Ladies, with the ambition of being ready to join the Allianz Premier 15s in the next licence cycle. 

• PROMOTE - To promote female role models and raise the profile of the women and girls’ game across our region, leveraging the Club’s marketing and communication channels and those of our commercial partners to effect positive change.
