Player Progression and Game Play
At this age RFU regulation 15.5 no longer allows for combined male/female teams and playing regulations change for females.

With an increase in scrum size to 5 players per side and unlimited mauls and rucks, players are introduced to the fend off below the armpits. Once again emphasis is placed on T.R.E.D.S and fun. Skills and drills become more focused, looking at ball handling and control.
This age group continues friendlies, triangular and festival matches and introduces the 5-player scrum and fending off. Playing in teams of 12 on a pitch of 60m x 43m, they play for 20 minutes a half for a maximum of 70 minutes per tournament. Every child is guaranteed to play at least one half per match no matter their ability.

Want to Join The Club?
Now is a great time to start playing the game whether you are 6 or 18 or somewhere in between. If your child is interested in having a go at playing either get in touch with the relevant age group coach or one of the committee and arrange to come down to the club on a Sunday morning to have a look at what is going on, have a tea or coffee, a bacon sarnie from the clubhouse and a socially distanced chat with other parents, coaches or committee members. It’s a great game and we are a great club. Come and join us!!
