Krewe Women
Welcome to the Krewe Women website!
The Tampa Krewe Women's
Rugby Football Club was created in May of 2007. The team was officially recognized
in August of 2007 and currently competes in the Florida Rugby Union. Our diverse
membership consists of women from Tampa Bay, Eckerd College, Clearwater, Saint
Petersburg, Brandon, and the rest of the Bay area. Last season our record was 1
and 3, losing only to the 3rd team in the nation. We are recognized, paying members
of the Florida Rugby Union and USA Rugby.
We compete throughout the year. From January to June we compete in league plan against all other women's teams based in florida. Over the summer we play a faster style of rugby which consists of only 7 players a side. In the fall season we participate in playoffs for the state championships, the south championships, and national championships. We participate in various tournaments in the south eastern United States.
The Krewe Womens' ambition is to become the best women's rugby club in Florida.We are looking into being sponsored by I Don't Care Bar and Grill that we hope will be gracious enough to purchase us a full set of jerseys, socks, and shorts. We also have each lady pay dues every season to offset the cost, but we are still in need of outside help and funding. Anyone that comes out for the team has to purchase cleats. On top of that we are required to team dues to USA Rugby ($100), CIPP Insurance Dues, and Florida Rugby Union dues. Each home game we host costs us $35 for the Referees and around $30 to line the field. These numbers do not include our other travel and equipment expenses.
