WHAT’S OUR STORY? We are the only LGBTQ+ rugby club in the Netherlands. Our goal is for everyone to enjoy rugby in a prejudice free environment, We currently have a men's and women's side and consider rugby to be for all. We are committed to creating a safe and welcoming environment where players of all levels of experience feel at home. WHEN AND WHERE DO WE TRAIN? We practice every Wednesday 20.00h at our ARC home base at Sportlaan 25 in Amstelveen. Bring your own waterbottle, fitness clothes and a mouth guard. WHEN DO WE HAVE MATCHES AND TOURNAMENTS? We play in the Dutch competition, organize friendly matches against local and other inclusive teams. We are proud members of the International Gay Rugby Association whose LGBT+ rugby tournaments the Union Cup and the Bingham Cup take us all around the globe including Sydney, Dublin, Nashville, Madrid and Ottawa. We even had the honor of hosting both biennial tournaments at home in Amsterdam in 2011 and 2018 respectively.
