Aberystwyth University Men's Rugby Union
AUMR is a club that strives for greatness both on and off the pitch. As a society we provide an opportunity for people to enjoy their university experience with likeminded individuals through sport and welcome all and every level of player from internationally capped and seasoned players to first time players.
We are one of the largest and most established societies at this university and offer a first and second team which both compete in a variety of championships, including the Mid Wales cup, our BUCs championship, the Western Conference Cup and varsity. We have a great competitive rivalry with Bangor University, in which we compete for the Prince of Wales cup - this year we will be heading up north for them to host us. Both teams have had great success in all of their competitions, winning various awards and establishing ourselves as a club that displays a high level of rugby talent and skill.
TRAINING
We welcome all abilities to the club and focus on developing players skillsets through a rigorous training schedule that focuses on different aspects of the game. An average training week would like this:
Monday: Contact session at the local rugby club 6:30-8pm @aber town
Tuesday: Skills and run through session with both the first and second team 8-9:30am @uni 3G pitch
Wednesday: Game days for both first and second teams
Friday: Friday Night Lights 8-9:30pm @uni 3G pitch
Sunday: Weights session 1-3pm
TRIALS
Before our BUCS season begins, we host trials. This will include both skill assessments and trial games, this has been a long standing tradition in the club’s history and will take place in early late September and early October. For more information please contact a member below.
As part of the universities Give it a Go week, the first few weeks of training and socials will be completely free. We encourage anyone who is interested in joining our team to come along to both sessions and see if our club is for you.
SOCIALS
We find socials important to running a well-balanced team and getting to know everyone on a more personal level. We host socials every Wednesday after matches and include sober socials as well for the “serious athletes”.
