SRFC are delighted to introduce Mixed Ability Rugby (MA) Rugby for the 2024/25 season. It is the game we all know and love, but adapted to make the game more accessible.

Too many individuals and groups are still excluded or segregated because of stigma, prejudice or personal perceptions of their capability, we intend to use rugby to change this.

We recognises the right of everyone to participate in Rugby and benefit from it both on and off the field. Mixed Ability Rugby is intended to include people facing a whole range of barriers to participation, including physical and learning disabilities, mental and physical health conditions, age-related impairments, low confidence, or other personal circumstances alongside people that don’t experience any of these barriers.

Mixed Ability Rugby follows the same rules of the mainstream game with uncontested scrums being the only real change, we make minor adjustments to take into account individual participants needs.

Our intention is to play the very best social rugby possible, rugby for everyone.
