Key Contacts
We play/
train every Sunday, training sessions start at 10.00am and we
advise turning up about 9.45am ready for the warm up. Any child
wishing to have a go is encouraged to come along and see if they
like it, there is a £5 fee this covers 5 sessions giving children
time to
decide if they wish to continue so no pressure to join from the
first session.
Our normal training involves a warm up, various practice drills to
improve key skills and of course some fun games as well as tag
games.
What to Wear-
Being warm and comfortable is obviously most important;
children need to come dressed for all weather. As the weather gets
colder we advise that children wear layers of T-shirts or skins
under rugby top or fleece, tracksuit bottoms, wooly hat and gloves,
rugby/football boots or trainers. Please also bring a water bottle.
Coaching will not be cancelled if it is cold, wet, too windy and so
on, we just gauge how the children are enjoying the session (the
wetter and muddier are generally more enjoyable!) and adjust the
length of session accordingly. It is only when the pitches are
frozen or absolutely waterlogged when coaching is cancelled – if
you think this may be the case, please watch the website in the
early morning for notices, we also try to communicate cancellations
by email and by text so having contact details is an advantage.
As well as having home training sessions, we have matches against
other clubs and this can be Home or Away as well as Festival
tournaments (where 4 or more teams play in a league and the go
forward to knockout). There will be some traveling involved. When
the children are playing away there is no training at home.
Parents/guardians are always expected to stay pitch side unless
they have agreed with someone else to take full responsibility for
their child.
Finally our age group had a great season last year, our coaches
have worked so very hard to ensure that every child has enjoyed
every session.Please do not hesitate to contact me with any
questions and please do come along and join in.
