Teams

Approach

Children (both boys and girls) in Year 3 at School can join. We will provide a fun, safe, environment to introduce your youngster to the world of rugby. We encourage ball handling, spatial awareness, team work and most important of all we have lots of fun playing Tag Rugby.

For Matches the meet time will be 9.30 and may last slightly over an hour depending on the number of players each side has and therefore the number of games.

Player Membership

New players can just turn up and join in the first couple of sessions for free. Alll playing membership is completed online through this website (click on the membership tab on the main page). Players are also asked to wear club short and socks which can be purchased through our online club shop or through our shop in the clubhouse which is open on a Sunday pre and post training/friendly matches.

Parents & Guardians

Remain responsible for their children at training/matches and need to stay, especially if their children are Under 12 years of age.

We empathise with those who have to spread themselves between pitches but please do ask another parent for help if you need to run into clubhouse or across to another pitch, so we know where you are etc.
