Girls and women’s rugby at Castleford Tigers is a source of great pride with our traditionally strong Super League team competing every year and being recognised as one of the finest teams in the sport’s history.
Our female development programme also offers both rugby and sports training and academic qualifications for females aged 16-19 years old in partnership with Airedale Academy.
Players can combine full-time study and a training schedule and have the chance to represent The Castleford Tigers Foundation within the Yorkshire College League, sanctioned by the governing body RFL.
