Youth & Mini

Sunday morning training will go ahead as planned.

It will be a shorter session as Player of the Month takes place in the Clubhouse at 11:30.

The U13's match is at home now (11:00 a.m. kickoff) and they will be using the 2nd XV pitch, which means that the Minis training will need to use the 1st XV pitch (and possibly the area between the Cricket Pitch and Rugby pitches, depending on the condition of the 1st XV pitch).

The pitch condition is being checked on Saturday. It will only be pitch condition that will call off training, not rain.

 

 

We start a new season that sees the Mini and Youth section fully integrated with the senior club and as such one big Hadleigh Rugby club.

You will note this season that due to kind sponsorship the Mini and Youth (6yrs to 17yrs) will be playing their competitive matches in the CLUBS' colours of Maroon and White stripes.

Pre season coaching meetings have taken place under the watchful eye of our Coaching Co-ordinator (Mark Yates)   who will work in tandem with the Club Head Coach (Matt Jackson) to ensure the coaching the players receive is the best possible to give them a solid foundation to play rugby for many years.

We start the sessions at 10:30am on a Sunday morning and finish at 12 noon. The kitchen is open during that time and we have Karen, Claire and Natasha who work extremely hard to ensure cups of tea and bacon rolls are available for the parents during the sessions.

So.... If you have never been before and you would like your Son or Daughter to come and learn a new sport, bring them down on a Sunday morning and give us a look.

Your youngster will not need any special kit in the first few weeks and we have a boot exchange scheme and a club shop that provides training equipment under the management of Jackie.

Come and watch for a morning, discuss with one of our many RFU qualified coaches the right time/group for your children to start and away you go.
