World Rugby Women’s Health Webinar Series 2026
World Rugby’s webinar series on women’s health in rugby takes place from 23 June 2026, and registration to attend online is free.
World Rugby Science and Medical Manager Dr Lindsay Starling is coordinating the series and has encouraged anyone involved in coaching young girls to get involved.
Dr Starling said, “It’s an exciting time for young girls when they first take up a team sport like rugby. But as with many contact sports it can also raise questions for parents and coaches alike. Our webinar on the 23 June will help to show parents and coaches from anywhere in the world where they can find high-quality, accurate and helpful information to help their young players starting out on their journey in this great sport.”
