Pitch up and Play
NLD Pitch Up & Play (PUPs) events are to give girls in the U12 – U18 age grades an additional opportunity to play rugby. PUPs are particularly targeted at girls who do not get to play enough rugby with their clubs.
PUPs are planned by NLD and organised by host clubs around our region, but there is no requirement to host an event to get involved.
On game day, all participating players Pitch Up, are sorted into suitably sized teams and Play a match.
We always try keep girls from the same club together, and we always strive to get the numbers as close to maximum numbers (15 aside) as possible.
For convenience, we split PUPS into two regions, although players/clubs are welcome to attend events in either region:
| West Region | East Region |
| Ashfield
Belper Castle Donnington Chesterfield Panthers Dronfield Glossop Long Eaton Mansfield Matlock Melbourne Paviours |
Boston
Cleethorpes Grimsby Kesteven Lincoln Scunthorpe Newark Nottingham Casuals South Notts Sapphires Sleaford Market Rasen |
