The Big Push
Southport, Merseyside, United Kingdom
Aim
Our aims are to purchase a scrum machine and other equipment that will benefit all age groups.
Who are we?
We are Southport Rugby Football Club founded in 1872 and Waterloo Road has been our home for almost 100 years.
Southport Rugby Football Club – the town’s premier sports club; enjoyed by all, committed to developing all & always looking to the future - a community rugby union club that we can all be proud of.
Why are we crowdfunding?
Southport Rugby Club has proudly developed players of all ages and abilities for nearly a century, from our youngest minis to our senior teams. Based at Waterloo Road, our club is built on tradition, community, and a passion for rugby.
To continue giving our players the very best opportunities to learn and grow, we are raising funds to purchase a state-of-the-art scrum sled. This equipment will:
- Provide safe, modern training for all age groups
- Help players develop core skills in scrummaging, strength, and teamwork
- Support coaches in delivering high-quality sessions across minis, juniors, and seniors
By investing in this upgrade, we’re ensuring that every player — from those just starting out to those competing at senior level — has access to the tools they need to succeed.
Your support will directly impact the future of rugby in Southport, helping us nurture talent, build confidence, and strengthen our club for generations to come.
