Whether you’re playing for fun in the park or you want to join a team, there are loads of options for you to play Rugby locally and it’s never too soon (or too late) to start and it’s a game to be enjoyed by everyone.
In Doncaster we have two rugby teams, Doncaster Knights (Rugby Union) based at Castle Park, Armthorpe and The Dons (Rugby League) based at the Eco-Power Stadium. So there are lots of opportunities to watch live sport in Doncaster and tickets for juniors start at £1 for some matches!
Be sure to share your photos with us of you enjoying rugby or doing the Sporting Superhero trail on social media using #sportingsuperhero and you could WIN tickets to live sporting events!

“They not only represent our core values but are also great young role models to others demonstrating Teamwork, respect, enjoyment, discipline and sportsmanship. All the things that depict what Rugby Union is about and offers young people.
Both boys show up for training consistently and puctually wind, rain or shine. They actively compete in matches, representing their team and our Club in both home games which take place at Castle Park and away games which take place across the breadth of Yorkshire. They also have pivotable roles within their team.
These boys do all of this, knowing they’re going to ache (or worse) after training/matches, due to their own medical needs.
Thomas has Cerebral Palsy, restless leg syndrome and hyperflex mobility of the joints, whilst Oscar is Asthmatic, Severs disease, allergic rhinitis, hyper mobility. It’s their personalities and commitment to sport and the ability to support others that define them.
They are truly inspirational and we are extremely proud of them.”
