Come try out rugby with the Melbourne Chargers - Victoria's gay and inclusive rugby club. Every year we recruit and train new players in the world's greatest game, in fact most of our experienced players joined our club knowing nothing about rugby. We're hosting an open training session for newbies interested in trying out the sport in a supportive and welcoming environment. Being with the Chargers is a great way to make new friends, keep fit and even travel the world. Please wear comfortable clothing suitable for exercising and bring your own sunscreen and water bottle. We'll have lunch following the session too, so please register and let us know if we need to cater to any special requirements! We're looking forward to meeting you soon!
