About the team

Lasswade Rugby Football Club runs a thriving mini rugby section comprising boys and girls from Primary P1 (age 5 min) to P7. We are always on the look out for new recruits to take part in weekly training sessions and competitive matches. Our season runs from the end of August through to May and our current fixtures can be found (from the Club's Home page) by selecting "Teams>Mini Info &Fixtures> Matches".

We meet on Sundays for either training sessions or competitive matches against other clubs from in and around the Edinburgh area. The P4-P7 groups also train on Wednesday evening. At present all training and competitions take place on the Club's grass pitches for which well gripped training shoes or studded boots are advised.

Training sessions are undertaken by our approved coaches and consist of SRU approved drills and routines designed to introduce the basic skills required for rugby in a safe and enjoyable environment. All children are guaranteed a game, regardless of ability.

Times
Sunday Training – 11am – 12:30pm
Wednesday Training (P4-P7) – 6.00pm – 7.00pm.

Cost
There are no weekly fees however parents or guardians are required to take out an annual Parent Membership of the club at a cost of £180pa which covers all children who attend from the family and gives the parents Associate Membership of the Club. This can be paid in one lump sum or in monthly instalments of £15 by standing order. A parent who wishes to be a Full Member or play rugby theirself for the Club needs to pay an additional fee.

Game Types
P1-3. For the younger children we play a mainly non-contact version of the sport. This will be in the form of touch or tag-rugby where the emphasis is on basic handling skills, running with the ball, playing as a team and basic game concepts. The P3s will also be able to take part in several friendly matches throughout the year.

P4-5. The children are introduced to full contact rugby with tackling below the waist allowed on opponents who must carry the ball in both hands, a rule enforced from P1 up to S1 level.

P6-7. Here basic scrummaging and line-out skills are taught. Both are in their un-contested form with limited players to ensure the skills are learnt in a safe manner. Kicking is also introduced where players are allowed to clear from within their 5 metre line.

Contact Details
If you are unable to attend training or, in particular, matches, can you please contact one of your team coaches to keep them informed.

Remember we are always looking for help on the coaching front, particularly with the younger ages this season. Details can be found on the individual team sections.
