Kit and equipment

To start off with, most players will be fine in shorts, t-shirt and boots. As the weather gets colder, sports leggings and long sleeve tops are useful for some. 

All players receive a McLaren socks once they have completed registration and paid that season's fee.

Strips are provided for matches and collected in at the end of the match for washing by team parent helpers. 

All players taking part in contact rugby (P4 upwards) must wear their own gum shield.

Advice from the World Rugby Union regarding goggles can be found here

Please see our 'If in Doubt Sit Them Out' section for advice on scrum caps.  

We run a kit recycling scheme where boots, shorts and training tops that have been outgrown but are still in good condition can be freely handed on to other players - by leaving them neatly in the club house pile- Please help yourselves!

Once per year, a collective order is placed for printed hoodies where players can have their nicknames (given by their team coach) printed on the back. If parents would like to buy these they should speak with their team coach or see the closed McLaren RFC mini facebook group for info. 

We are also in process of organised an online shop for wider kit purchases should you wish.  This is not mandatory.
