Hello and welcome to the Northampton Old Scouts Under 13s, the current Northampton and District Rugby Alliance champions for this age group

U13s is open to boys only who will be School Year 8 during the rugby season which runs from 1 September 2023 to 30 April 2024.

U13s play and train on Sunday mornings, from 10am to 12pm.
We also train midweek on Wednesdays 18:30 to 20:00.

We play fixtures against local teams, at home or away, which take place most Sunday mornings during the season. When there is no fixture, then we will train at home. Please refer to the fixture list for specific dates.

Progression through the age groups is summarised by the RFU, showing key skills introduced at each age group:

For U13s the new skills will be pushing in the scrum, plus playing on a larger pitch and introduction of a 13th player. We will also be introducing the new RFU tackle height rules.

Regulations for our age grade are per the RFU website as follows:
