WHY CHOOSE THE TEMUKA RUGBY CLUB?
As part of a small but vibrant community, the rugby club is always on the look out for new rugby players for our senior, development, IAB and JAB teams. Whether you are an overseas rugby player looking to play in New Zealand and develop your skills with perhaps the chance to play Heartland rugby in local provincial sides, or a kiwi rugby player shifting from within NZ we can help you.
We can help arrange accommodation, work in a variety of occupations, and have contacts in a wider range of sporting and working areas. These include agriculture, manufacturing, plumbing, painting, hospitality, retail and many other trades. Fonterra has built the world’s biggest milk manufacturing plant right here on our doorstep.
The season extends from March through until August, with pre-season training starting in February. In the recent season we have had players from the UK and Japan who have learnt not only about rugby, but about NZ ‘kiwi culture’ and made many new friends. Russell and Ken both enjoyed themselves and you can read more about their time playing rugby in New Zealand here.
If you are interested in playing rugby in NZ, or travelling and playing during your gap year, then contact the Temuka Rugby Club to see how we can help. We would love to accommodate your rugby needs no matter what level you play and help you improve your skills.
If you are travelling from another country, there are often specialist visa and work permit requirements when coming to NZ. It pays to check with your own authorities first, but a simple outline of requirements for visitors to NZ can be found on our play rugby for us page. Please use the contact forms or email the Temuka Rugby Club to find out more.
Temuka is very close to NZ’s adventure playgrounds. A short trip by car can have you skiing, snowboarding, bungee jumping, kayaking, participating in extreme sports, fishing, tramping, climbing, golfing, and watching Super 12 rugby matches in Christchurch which is within 2 hours travel of Temuka.
SPONSORS
We would especially like to thanks the numerous sponsors who support the Temuka Rugby Club. Their support is an essential part of every sport played, and no more so than in a rural community.
We ask that as members or even supporters of our club that you also support these businesses so that we may all continue to prosper.
