Farnborough Under 12s
Welcome to the new season with Farnborough RFC under 12's,
incorporating players, both boys and girls, from school
year 7. With major changes going on in the players lives
as they move to new schools and further develop as people,
we aim to maintain some continuity and will reaffirm the
core values of fair play and self discipline. Play hard,
but play fair.
This is our last season of midi rugby, continuing our journey
towards the 15 a side game next season. The major change
this year is the addition of a back row player in the forwards,
taking us to a six man pack. We continue with the full complement
of backs and so are playing 13 a side.
This is also the last season that we play mixed rugby,
so if there any girls out there who still have a hankering
to show the boys how it's done, this is your last chance.
As we progress through the season we will include some coaching
sessions with the junior girls and ladies coaches, to ease
the transition to all female rugby, and their continuing
development as rugby players. In the meantime, the girls
are an integral part of the squad and will continue to be
so.
With the introduction of the back row player, and the differing
speed of physical development, we will continue to emphasise
safety, and correct techniques in areas such as the scrummage,
the tackle and ruck & maul. All players must wear a
gum shield, and many wear additional protective equipment
such as scrum caps and body protectors.
As always the season will include training
sessions at home, “friendly” matches against
other local clubs, both home and away, and participation
in a number of tournaments. With a squad of 24 players from
last season, we hope to become even more competitive and
to finally convert our potential into winning some silverware.
We meet every Sunday at the club from 10:00 until 12:00
and always welcome new members. Come along and try us out
for a couple of weeks to see if you like it. We aim to make
the sessions fun, friendly and fully inclusive. All our
coaches and first aiders are fully qualified and CRB checked.
We are always looking for new members of the coaching and
administrative team, for both the age group and club as
a whole.
