About the team

Welcome to Chippenham Rugby Club’s Minis Section, our Minis Rugby is for all girls and boys, and includes the age groups from U6 through to U11.

As an introduction to Rugby the U6 team will learn the basics of Tag Rugby but do not participate in fixtures. In the U7 and U8 age groups, our players continue to play Tag Rugby and take part in competitive fixtures and festivals. Contact is incrementally introduced to the U9, U10 and U11 age groups, as the format of their game increases each year by numbers on the pitch and the length of their matches. Throughout the season, which runs from September through to the start of May, the Minis section will either train at our Club or participate in a pre-arranged fixture of festival which could be Home or Away. Safeguarding is paramount, all our coaches hold valid DBS Certificates and will be RFU, Kids First Contact or Kids First Tag qualified or working towards their qualification. A highlight of our season is hosting the annual ChipFest Minis Rugby Festival which is held over two weekends hosting clubs from near and far.

Our Minis Section have full use of the excellent facilities at Chippenham Rugby Club and hold all our training and fixtures on Sunday mornings throughout the season.
Interested or want to know more, please contact our Minis Chairman Neal Craig on minirugby@chippenhamrfc.co.uk or call me on 07740 933 183
