Smiling Faces…

That’s what you get at Hillfoots. Young or old, people enjoy the game of rugby, with the fun and friendship that it brings.

A positive & strong club culture…

We make sure that every single person wanting to play is given the opportunity to play. The long term development of every player is at the heart of our ambition.

A welcoming environment

We are an inclusive & family friendly club. If you are a player, a parent, a supporter or a sponsor, come along and you will experience a fun and informal atmosphere and you can be sure of a warm welcome.

A thriving Adult Section

In October 2011 Hillfoots 1st XV were unbeaten and the 2nd XV recorded two victories from three. They currently sit second and first in their respective leagues.

Our U18 side – growing in stature

Built from scratch over the last two seasons, they are rarely beaten and a number of players will soon challenge for places in the 1st XV & 2nd XV.

The Cast Tups

Our over 35′s team combines comraderie off the field with great rugby antics on the pitch. A great way to carry on enjoying your rugby when your elite days are over!

Our Motto is “everyone plays”

Hillfoots was founded in 1971 and for over 40 years its home ground has been the Public Park in Tillicoultry, Clackmannanshire. In 2012 it has 400 playing members and has been Scotland’s fastest growing club two years running. We are ambitious to create even more growth in the future.

Our aim is to create an environment where rugby can be played and enjoyed by everybody - all ages from 5 to 75 regardless of gender or ability. We value integrity, a positive attitude, commitment, and friendship as highly as we do rugby ability.

We have a thriving Adult section with 150 members. The 1st XV play in the Caledonia Regional League Division 1 and are having a great 2011/12 season. They are well known for their lovely open style of rugby. The 2nd XV team play in the RBS Reserve Caledonia Midlands 1 and there is also the over 35’s social side – “The Cast Tups”, with their own very special style of play.

The Junior section has 250 members with playing teams all the way from U7s (The Tag Tigers) to U18s. They are supported by a team of 15 fully qualified coaches to ensure a fun and safe environment in which to learn the game of rugby, whether at home training sessions, friendly games with local clubs or in competitive festivals.
