Caledonian TheBans Rugby Clinic 2024

The Caledonian Thebans are excited to host our annual Rugby Clinic in Edinburgh. Clinic ‘24 will bring teams together from across the UK and Europe to beautiful Edinburgh, the home of Scottish Rugby. Clinic ‘24 will focus on fundamental skill development for new players, making lifelong friends and loving inclusive rugby. Clinic ‘24 will be 17 October – 20 October 2024.

The Caledonian Thebans have had one of our most successful years of results in league rugby, as well as celebrating over 20 years of being Scotland’s premium inclusive rugby club. We cannot wait to welcome you all back for another weekend of great rugby in Edinburgh.

It was amazing to see teams and players from across the UK, Ireland and Europe. We hope this year will be just as fantastic! The Clinic will be spread across 4 days and will allow players to play rugby, make connections, explore the city, plus the secretly themed after party that cannot be missed by anyone!!!

Clinic ‘24 Gender Participation Statement

We welcome players of any gender and all experience levels. Rugby is for all and the Thebans will always promote this. We support trans players playing rugby as their authentic selves and continue to vocally oppose policies which do not live up to our inclusive values.

Despite strong opposition, the Scottish Rugby Union (SRU) continue to impose trans exclusive guidelines upon rugby in Scotland - SRU Gender Participation Policy. As a result, trans women and AMAB non-binary individuals are unable to play in contact rugby matches with cis women.
