What could your child get from playing rugby?
Your child can start playing non-contact "tag" rugby from the
age of 5. The actual sessions are arranged in school year groupings, and
develop a range of rugby skills through fun and engaging activities. Sessions
last between 1.5 and 2 hours. The kids are introduced to competitive matches
from the age of 6 with a gradual progression on to the full 15 a-side
game by the time they reach 12.
What, Where and When?
- The season goes from the 1st weekend in September to the 1st weekend of May
- The Sunday sessions are either played at 'home' or at 'away' fixtures
and we attend some fantastic rugby festivals each year (we host one
of the best!)
- All home sessions are at Braywick Park (The Mini's are in the middle
of the running track). Away fixtures are generally within the Berks/Bucks
region
- Sessions run from 10-12noon (although some festivals will go on into the afternoon)
and are run by volunteer coaches. All coaches are encouraged to follow
the formal RFU coaching pathway, the cost of which is fully funded by
the club
- Children's progress is tracked throughout the season culminating in
our end of season Presentation day
- Regular communication goes out to each age group to keep you up-to-date with
news and events
- We have strong relationships with the Premier League clubs of London Wasps and
London Irish
- The club puts a great deal of emphasis on the safeguarding of the children. A
Safeguarding Officer, full CRB checks and training are just some of
the ways in which the club protects the children
