Our 1st Team represents the pinnacle of Sheffield Hallam Men's Rugby Union Club. This elite squad competes in the competitive Men's Northern 2A division, regularly facing off against some of the best university teams in the region. The team is composed of experienced and highly skilled players, many of whom have played at high levels before joining the university.
Training with the 1st Team is an intensive and rewarding experience. Team members benefit from top-tier coaching, focusing on advanced strategies, technical skills, and tactical awareness. These sessions are complemented by our comprehensive Strength and Conditioning program, ensuring every player is at their physical best for each game.
Our 1st Team isn't just about high-level competition; it's also about the development and progression of our players. The team acts as a gateway to further opportunities in rugby, with connections to local semi-professional clubs providing a pathway for players seeking to pursue the sport beyond university. Through our established connections with semi-pro clubs in the area, we frequently facilitate opportunities for players to train, trial and potentially sign with these clubs. This performance pathway reflects our commitment to nurturing our players' rugby careers, not just their time at Sheffield Hallam, other Hallam Sports do not facilitate such pathways and to this end, our 1st Team at Sheffield Hallam University is very privileged to have such options.
Sheffield Varsity represents the pinnacle of the sporting year for our Rugby Union 1st team. This event sees us face off against the other University in Sheffield. The high-stakes game attract massive crowds, creating a charged atmosphere that embodies the passion of University Rugby. It's a significant occasion for our players to perform before a large audience, demonstrating their talent on a grand stage alongside every other Hallam sport.
