About us
With a long history of seeing our youth players move through the age grade section and into senior rugby we are very proud of the community which we have for the youth teams. Chairman; Jack Moorhouse, the coaches and the committee members work to ensure that each member of the youth squad enjoys their rugby and feels part of a wider team. We have outlined some of the key information for our youth teams below but please use the contact details on our contact page if you would like more information or to speak to one of the coaches.
For young people aged 2-6 years we have Dinky Duks. A group which is focused on ensuring that our young people start their rugby career with fun as the focus. Each Sunday from 10:15am to 11am the Dinky’s are on the field for guided activities with their coaches. We encourage parental involvement at this age and love seeing how much fun they have on the field before they head into the club house for some hot food following training.
Monthly Direct debit payable for sessions.
For young people from the age of 6 (School year 2) we move to age grade rugby and begin to introduce them to match play.
For all ages until Under 9 (School year 4) we play tag rugby introducing them to the techniques of passing backwards and working in space. From Under 9 we follow the RFU guidelines to begin to introduce tackling and more complex rugby techniques. Through the guidance and support of our coaches the young people will gain confidence and ability as they grow into their rugby careers.
Monthly direct debit and sign on fee payable for each season.
