WARRIORS TRAINING - WEDNESDAY 6.30 - 7.45 PM
First Contact who are based at Winchester RFC run a midweek training session at the club for Winchester RFC U9s & U10s. This is billed separately by First Contact. A few U10s already attend and it would be great for more players to come along.
USEFUL INFORMATION
We train every Sunday at 10.00 am sharp on Devil’s Island which is located beyond the clubhouse in North Walls Recreation Ground. Sessions will end by 12.00 pm depending on what is being covered on the day.
All players need to have a gum shield and rugby studs and plenty of layers when it is cold and to bring a drink.
All players need a parent present at all times.
The coaches are always happy to discuss anything with the parents.
In order to play at a tournament a player must firstly be a member of Winchester RFC and secondly have registered with the RFU. Joining instructions can be found on the main Minis page.
