Why Sussex Rugby
About us:
Sussex Rugby Football Union was formed in 1883 and governs Rugby Union in East and West Sussex, and the city of Brighton & Hove. Over 1800 players take the field each week within Sussex, playing for clubs and schools. Over 100 referees help to ensure the games take place, along with an army of coaches and volunteers.
By sponsoring Sussex Rugby you will;
- Reach a large audience - but this can be targetted by gender and age if you prefer.
- Come on board at a time when huge work has already been done to make sure the game appeals to a wide range people - and is both safe and enjoyable.
- Benefit from exposure to a demographic that is family orientated.
Representative teams exist at each U15, U16, U17, U18, U20, Seniors and 7's for males, and U15, U18, Seniors for females. Sussex is linked with Harlequins Rugby Club to provide the performance pathway for talented players. This includes U13, U14, U15, and U16 players with Academy places beyond this.
