Community at Frome RFC
At Frome Rugby Football Club, we are much more than a sports club—we are a vibrant, inclusive community hub serving Frome and the surrounding East Somerset and West Wiltshire area. We believe that grassroots sport has the power to bring people together, foster lifelong friendships, improve physical and mental well-being, and build a stronger, healthier local community.
Whether you are a player, supporter, volunteer, sponsor, or local resident looking for a welcoming environment, Frome RFC has a place for you.
Grassroots Sport for All Ages & Abilities
We pride ourselves on offering rugby and physical activity opportunities for everyone in our town, regardless of age, background, or skill level:
-
Mighty Minis & Junior Rugby: Providing safe, engaging, and fun rugby training every Sunday morning for children aged 5 to 18. We focus on core values—Teamwork, Respect, Enjoyment, Discipline, and Sportsmanship—helping young people stay active and build confidence.
-
Senior Men’s Teams: Offering competitive and recreational rugby options for adults to support lifelong participation in physical activity.
-
Touch & Walking Rugby: Inclusive, low-impact versions of the game designed for all fitness levels, older adults, and those returning from injury or looking for fun, non-contact sport.
A Facilities Hub for Frome
Our clubhouse and grounds at Gypsy Lane are a shared asset for the wider Frome community. Beyond matchdays, our facilities serve as a location for:
-
Local Community Groups: Hosting local exercise classes, social gatherings, and community meetings.
-
Events & Celebrations: Providing an affordable, versatile venue for private functions, charity fundraisers, and local events.
-

Frome RFC is run entirely by dedicated local volunteers—from coaches and team managers to safeguarding officers, committee members, and matchday staff.
-
Volunteer Opportunities: We actively welcome volunteers from across the community to gain skills, build connections, and give back to local sport.
