Sports clubs on Clapham Common

If you’re looking to get sporty, looking to make some friends or just looking to fill those quiet hours that pop up in your week, why not try out a new sport? The Common is a hub of physical activity throughout the week, from Quidditch to HIIT workouts, there is something for you in one of these teams.

Touch Rugby

GO MAMMOTH // This one is for the commitment kings and queens. Sign up for a 12 week season of touch rugby. Intermediates and beginners matches happen every Saturday from 10am. Come as an individual, or, if you’ve already got your team ready to go, enter as a team. Check them out here.

THE ELECTRIC ELS // A super fun touch team, with a big friendly community. You might have spotted them in their green vests when things get serious at Wednesday evening matches, but don’t be fooled… They play hard and they celebrate hard too. Check them out here.

CLAPHAM SAINTS // This touch rugby team is free, informal and fun… just ask the 35 people that come every week. They practice every Tuesday on the Common at 6.30pm, and will welcome you solo or with a group of friends too. Check them out here.

THE CLAPHAM FEELERS // An LGBTQ+ touch rugby men’s team. They love to get serious on the pitch, but you’ll also find them winding down and refreshing with drinks at the Saxon afterwards. Check them out here.
