New SCRUMS System for SRU

Hello all

SRU have introduced a new system for player registration on their database. (SCRUMS - Scottish Rugby Management System). SCRUMS has been developed to provide a modern, integrated set-up to record member information for those involved with rugby in Scotland, including youth players (under the age of 18).

Where in the past the club has been responsible for adding players to the database, they now require the player themselves (over 18) or a parent (or guardian) of any youth player aged 8 or above to confirm their child’s registration with Scottish Rugby. This is so that the player/ parent/guardian can accept the SCRUMS Terms of Use and Privacy Policy on behalf of themselves or their child. Thereafter, Scottish Rugby may also wish to communicate with the players (over 18) or parents/guardians on important issues relevant to their (players over 18) or their child’s participation in the game, for example safety initiatives.

What you need to do - players and parents/guardians

Go to the folder on Pitchero in information/documents/SCRUMS or follow the link. Read the documents and follow the instructions that apply to you as the player applying or as a parent/guardian. At the moment the requirement is for children aged 8+ so if your chid is under this age, do not worry. They will be insured from a group perspective if they are registered with the club.

If you are happy to go straight to the website the URL is https://scrums.scottishrugby.org/terms-and-conditions
or for U18
https://scrums.scottishrugby.org/u18/terms-and-conditions

Please be aware that membership must still be paid to the club and registration on Pitchero must take place. This is not a replacement database. The club have to confirm player registration so if membership is not paid you will not become active on the SCRUMS System and therefore will not be insured to play.

Any problems. please let me know and I will try to help. Again, this is a new system and although it has taken some time for SRU to get it going , still has issues.

Membership and registration for Huntly RFC season 2018/19 will be open in the next week.
