The Wasps Ladies ACE programme has been launched with the City of Oxford College, for female rugby players aged 16 to 18, who have the potential to play at the highest level.

Wasps ACE students will be able to compete with their home club, while getting access to more than 12 hours of contact time with Wasps Ladies staff.

This partnership will be the first of it's kind for Wasps Ladies further expanding the pathway from grassroots engagement to elite performance.

Pat Metcalfe-Jones, head of girls rugby at City of Oxford College, said: “Our partnership with Wasps Ladies will provide an outstanding experience and pathway for the academic and rugby pursuits of young female players.

“I’m looking forward to engaging with our local rugby clubs and schools within this new Wasps partnership, to ultimately expand the opportunities for young players within the area.”
