MINI RUGBY INTRODUCTION

Mini rugby takes place every Sunday morning, rain or shine, at Lakelands Park. Because of the large numbers involved in each age group training starts at 9.45am running through to 12.30pm. The various times for each age level are listed under training on the website. The Parents are always welcome to come down and watch, take photos or get the camcorder out. They are also more welcome when they join in and help out. Due to the large numbers every Sunday we are constantly looking out for more coaches, managers and helpers. For those feeling the cold there is always a great welcome and a cup of tea/coffee and a few biscuits in our newly refurbished clubhouse. On match days kick off will vary depending on where we are playing and who the opposition is. We always give you plenty of notice if there is a change. Why not drop down to the club on a Sunday morning and have a look for yourself at this great institution. You'll be surprised at what you see.
