Walking Rugby

Walking Rugby at Old Reigatian is the kind of rugby that lets you keep your pride and your cartilage. It’s wonderfully mixed, delightfully sociable, and designed for anyone who still loves the game but would prefer not to be steam-rollered by someone half their age and twice their enthusiasm. The rules are simple: no running, no tackling, no drama… except the theatrical groans when someone bends down for a low pass.

You get all the good bits of rugby, the teamwork, the laughs, the friendly rivalries, without waking up the next morning wondering which bit of you has fallen off. Our walking rugby squad is a brilliant blend of men and women of all ages and backgrounds, united by a love for the sport and an impressive commitment to gentle mischief. Move at your own pace, enjoy crisp passing, practice your footwork (at walking speed, which is a rare joy), and settle into that unbeatable club atmosphere.

Perfect for beginners, returners, and anyone who fancies exercise with a side order of banter, Walking Rugby is exactly where you want to be. It’s rugby… just calmer, kinder, and considerably less likely to require Deep Heat.
