Thanks for the useful replies. Cas Panthers would be a bit of pain to get to and for some reason I don't think she'd join a club with Cas in the name.

She is 13 and Sandal sounds good as it is five minutes from where we live.

The Clan. Perhaps you could post on here when training is starting. I've done the touchline manger thing for for my son at Crig so if you need any help for the girls team I would be up for it.

I certainly will.

The team we're hoping to start is U14s and we have a large number of girls from Ossett Academy wanting to join so we ought to be able to field a full team on a regular basis.

We're a very welcoming club and I'm sure your daughter would fit straight in and feel at home.

Sounds great that there will finally be some girls rugby in wakefield. Wish somewhere had a womens team. I know lots of ladies who play outa the city eg fev, batley, cas and normy to name a few when they wanted to play there was no option in wakey and thats been same since the early 90's when wakefield panthers moved into castleford rugby union club

Eastmoor Dragons will continue to host a girls team in the new year. The previous coach, Claire Marlow did a fantastic job at the club but unfortunately lost her job as a development officer and could no longer continue in the role. There is a great deal of interest in this team continuing and the club is in the process of recruiting a new coach with aim of starting training in January.
Things have gone a bit quiet with the girl’s team over the last few weeks as we have gone through a transitional period at the club due to a change of Junior Chairman. Ady Fleming has returned as Chairman recently and one of his priorities is to recruit a girls coach.
Rest assured, there will be a girls team at Eastmoor early in the New Year and all old and new players are welcome

Any update on the girls teams. Is training starting soon?

We weren't able to get up and running for the start of the season, due to being unable to find a female coach.

We're still on the look-out though and if we manage to make any progress, will update on here and our website.

Is that being PC or is it a legal requirement?

Both, plus it's a practical issue - coach needs to be able to go in and out the dressing room for team talks etc.

Unfortunately, female coaches are like hens teeth!
