Why not come and join us?

Hastings & Bexhill RFC is an accredited Sports UK club and holder of an RFU Seal of Approval award. We are a community partner with RFU Premiership club Harlequins.

H&B welcomes new players of all ages and levels of skill. Experienced players and overseas visitors in particular are invited to contribute to our ambition to develop a style of open attacking rugby, that’s entertaining to watch and enjoyable to play.

We have three senior men’s teams - with the 1st XV playing in Kent 1 - a Vets side, Colts, Womens and Girls teams, and over 200 youngsters in junior and mini teams at all age groups. We have RFU qualified coaches at all levels.

H&B has a progressive outlook, committed to investing in the infrastructure of the club; Over £60,000 is being spent on pitch improvements, plus a £23,000 new clubhouse balcony opened two seasons ago. The club is working on a five year development plan to ensure continuing growth and improvement.

Rugby is the most sociable of team sports, and H&B’s bright and welcoming clubhouse is open on match days and junior training sessions over the weekend, serving hot food and drinks, and with a bar. There’s a subsidised hot meal after Thursday training sessions. Social events are organised throughout the season including our regular Halloween Party,  Bonfire Night Firework Display, and the Annual Dinner Dance. We hold a very succesful Minis Tournament in Octobver each year, and have summer youth training and Fun Day events for minis and junior sides.

Why not take a look at us by turning up at a training session (Men Tuesday & Thursday, Colts Thursday 7.15-8.30pm; Women and U13s to U16s Wednesday 7.00-8.30pm; Juniors and U7s to U12s Sunday 10.30am-12 noon) where you’ll be welcomed. All matches and training take place at William Parker Sports College in Park Avenue, Hastings TN34 2PN.
