Ladies XV

Dames XV – LSRG Dames 1

Sinds 2014 kent ook Leiden een damesstudentenrugbyteam. Van 2016 tot 2018 speelde LSRG DXV in combinatie met Rugbyclub DIOK in de eerste klasse mee. Vanaf mei 2018 is deze combinatie opgeheven en zijn de LSRG Dames op zichzelf verder gegaan als nieuw team (startend in de derde klasse) in de landelijke competitie. Het team groeit gestaag en bestaat op dit moment uit ruim 40 dames. De dames komen uit in de landelijke competitie (15s) in de eerste klasse en daarnaast komen de dames ook uit in de social competition (10s), met het doel om een tweede volledig dames team op te kunnen zetten. 

Besides the regular training sessions and matches, the ladies are also present at many social and sporting activities. For instance, outside the regular match season, you can find the ladies at one of the many (inter)national (student) rugby tournaments (Ameland Beach Rugby Festival, Flanders Open Rugby, BrigandZe, Amsterdam 7s). 

The great thing about rugby is that there is room in a team for every type of athlete. Whether you are small or big, fast or strong, heavy or a lightweight, there is always a suitable position for you! Our team consists of internationals as well as young students and ladies who have just graduated, with different athletes at different levels (just starting out to former premier league). Are you open to a new (sports) experience and do you like a challenge? Come and train with us!

Tuesdays we train at 19:15 and Thursdays at 20:15 @University Sports Centre (Einsteinweg 6)
