We are an inclusive, family friendly rugby club. Rugby fun is our aim!
We have thriving a mini section for children and young people aged 5yrs- 12yrs (P1-P7).
Midis and youths train and play in collaboration with McLaren High School.
Midis and Youth not affiliated with McLaren High School can still get in on the action and train with us on Saturdays mornings.
We also now facilitate a girls training on Saturdays.
Senior rugby is currently informal touch games and 'pop up' games. We have a mixed team and train on Friday nights. We often play in Touch Tournaments and matches.
Our male players also participate in 7s and 10s tournaments.
No experience necessary! We support any new players throughout the first few sessions to enable a smooth transition to existing groups. There is no obligation to sign up to membership until the children know they want to continue.
P1 –P3 provides coordination, fitness and the essential building blocks of non-contact rugby.
P4 Introduces and develops good contact and tackling technique.
P5 – P7 builds on these skills and introduces further key aspects of the game like line-out and scrummaging.
All players are encouraged to take part in a full calendar of fixtures throughout the season.
Training sessions are run per year group by PVG certified, RugbyRight and at minimum Level 1 SRU qualified coaches.
Rugby teaches children teamwork, responsibility and communication. It offers an opportunity to get outdoors, get muddy, make friends with kids from local schools, play in competitions and most of all be active and have fun!
