The ERPM Rugby Football Club was established in 1903, and later changed its name to Boksburg Rugby Club when they moved to Prince George Park (where they currently are). The club has had a long list of provincial players and a couple of Springboks playing there. Former Springbok Avril Malan was a coach of the first side for many years and they currently have five senior teams, and a junior rugby club with ages seven to 18, with a player base of around 400. They are a family-based club and their main aim is to improve rugby in the Valke region, and promote and develop rugby and rugby players in Boksburg.
