Farnborough Under 13

Welcome to a new season of rugby at Farnborough RFC with the Under 13's squad. This squad is for players who are under 13 years of age on the 1st September 2008 . Under 13's play full contact 15-a-side rugby.

Training focuses on both ball handling and distribution skills (running, passing), contact skills (tackling, rucking, mauling) as well as the set piece plays (8 man scrum and lineout), with the emphasis on enjoying the game. Positional play is important and the players are split into a forwards and backs division

This season the team are introduced to the full 15-a-side game. Last season we introduced the No. 8 position at the back of the scrum, this year we add 2 Flankers to the pack to complete the back row of the scrum and bring us into the full 15 man game.

The full IRB rules apply with under 13 variations. These are the scrum can only be pushed 1.5m with a maximum turn of 45 degrees, Squeeze Ball is not allowed, and we do not lift at the lineout.

Training runs from 10:00 to 12:00 on Sunday mornings at Farnborough rugby club. We look forward to seeing you there. We award a Player of the Week trophy and the Parents Player of the Week trophy for the players that perform best at training and matches during the season. Effort and attitude as well as end result are equally rewarded.
