Introduction

Welcome to the website of the Guerillas Touch Rugby club of Aberdeen, Scotland. We are one of the largest clubs in Scotland with mens and mixed teams competing at different levels in the summer league competitions. This allows us to accommodate players of all levels. We typically have around ten complete beginners joining the club each year but also have players competing at the highest level in the Aberdeen competitions and a few currently training with the Scotland squads. Guerillas are one of the few clubs that have managed to successfully develop players completely new to the game while having teams competing both at a social level and enjoying success at national events.

We always welcome new players, even those who just want to give the game a try out.
