Our first XV has always played at the highest level and were crowned Dutch National Rugby Champion 14 times, most recently in 2015. Our 2nd XV, is considered to be the talent team for players who have the ambition to play for the first XV. Our 3rd XV plays at a recreational level. HRC Xtreme is our ladies team. They have the ambition to reach the highest level in The Netherlands.

Do you want your kids to become a member?
Since we have such a huge youth department, we have limited possibilities for kids to join the club. Thus kindly be warned there is quite a waiting list for youth members. However in case you are (still) interested, you are welcome to apply. PLEASE CLICK AND COMPLETE THE REGISTRATION FORM. It might take some time, but the teammanager will contact you if there is a possibility to start.
For the avoidance of doubt: the only way to ensure your application will “land” with the right people is using the form. We this kindly ask you to follow this route and not apply via e-mail to anyone else.
