General Information
All children are welcome every week. The only limitation is that the children must be under 7 on the 1st September of the appropriate year. The only time that we are restricted on numbers is when we attend festivals where we are limited to teams of ten or twelve children.
We play Tag Rugby encouraging the skills associated with running, passing and catching. The aim is to establish a base set of skills to enable the children to partake in the spirit of rugby. Our primary aim is to encourage the children to have FUN.
Every year (first few weeks in September), all existing members will need to complete a Membership Form and a new Data Protection Form. New members will also need to complete the RFU registration Form. These can be obtained from Rex Whittaker, our Membership Secretary or from your coach.
The Club will provide training for all the children that turn up, however certain playing kit is required to ensure all are protected where possible, ask you coach for age group restrictions on contact.
