Related Topics: Wichita

What started as a group of rugby fans teaching themselves to play has evolved into the competitive women’s rugby team, the Wichita Valkyries.

The Wichita Valkyries were founded in 1974 by Sabrina Perez and other rugby enthusiasts who wanted to take their turn on the field.

As a member of the Mid-America Rugby Football Union, Wichita Rugby is committed to generating sports involvement in Wichita and competing with other teams in the region.

After a hiatus, the team re-established itself in 2015 and is recruiting new players. The Valkyries welcome athletes of all skill levels.
