The club\u2019s women\u2019s program continues to grow, complemented by a strong junior girls\u2019 pathway that is becoming increasingly popular.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u201cIn many age groups, the girls are matching and often outperforming the boys, highlighting just how well young ladies are thriving in the sport. Nambour Rugby encourages all women and girls to get involved, regardless of experience, as rugby proves time and again to be an empowering and rewarding game.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">World Cup fever\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">With the Rugby World Cup coming to Australia in 2027, there had never been a better time to get involved in the game.\u00a0 Wright said he had experienced the incredible atmosphere and community spirit that comes with World Cup fever and recommended being part of rugby during this historic period, especially as nations new to the sport take part on the world stage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Nambour Rugby understands the challenges of balancing work, school and sporting commitments, which is why the club\u2019s location makes participation easy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u201cClose to local schools with simple access and a school bus stop just past the front gate, the club is ideally placed for families,\u201d Wright said. \u201cWe have a dedicated coaching group and an outstanding committee committed to a relaxed feel and a safe, welcoming environment.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u201cNambour Rugby is a place to unwind, connect and enjoy being part of the community. The club would love to see new players, volunteers and social members join and help grow the proud rugby tradition at the heart of the hinterland.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">Toad Tag Tuesdays<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"white-space:pre-wrap;\">\u2022 As part of its growth, the club invites all juniors, men and ladies to come down and take part in Toad Tag, held every Tuesday at 4.30pm. Toad Tag is a fun, social and welcoming introduction to rugby and a great way to connect with the club ahead of the 2026 season.
