Farnborough
Under 10's - School Year 5
After a very successful year in the Under 9’s we
move up into Under 10’s ready to continue with another
season of exciting contact rugby.
 As always, the emphasis very much remains on inclusion
and enjoyment. The key aspect is to build the childrens’
confidence and to ensure they understand that contact rugby
is both safe and fun.
Whilst children will be encouraged and cajoled into tackling
and contact, each child will be allowed to develop at their
own rate and at any time any child will have the option
of observing rather than participating to help build their
confidence. It should be noted however in the interests
of safety and fairness to the other players, tournament
squads will be chosen from players that have shown both
the confidence and temperament for contact rugby during
training.
Currently we have a strong and competitive squad consisting
of a large group of players but are always looking to grow
throughout the season and summer. Last season we were able
to put out three teams.
All players, of any standard are welcome to come along and
train with us for a few weeks before deciding to make a
commitment. We aim to ensure that where needed, one-to-one
tuition will be provided to make sure that basic skills
and contact play are brought up a level whereby any child
can play in a safe environment with the more experienced
members of our squad.

Coaching:
We will continue to expand upon the basics such as evasion,
handling and decision making and begin to add increased
emphasis on;
• Tackling - from the front, side and rear
• Contact skills – rucking and mauling
• Positional awareness - in both offence and defence
• Set plays through uncontested 3 man scrummages and
line-outs
• Understanding of the Laws of Contact Rugby
In addition we will also work on group skills, and in particular
the differences between forward and back play with a rotation
to ensure all children get to experience all positions on
the field.
Please remember to bring the appropriate equipment and clothing
for the conditions. Scrum caps and body armour are optional
but gum-shields are mandatory and boots with proper aluminium
rugby safety studs should be worn. Tracksuit bottoms must
not have any zips!
Finally, Farnborough Rugby Club is very much a family orientated
club and aside from the playing side we have a vibrant club-house
for parents and children alike with events throughout the
year.
