Farnborough Under 15/16/17 Joint Squad

This mixed age group is composed of school years 10, 11, and 12. Our aim is to promote enjoyable rugby, played in a safe manner and in the right spirit. We aim to build each individual's skill levels in a safe and structured environment. We cover individual skills such as ball handling and running (evasion) skills, all aspects of kicking, tackling and contact
management in rucks, mauls and set pieces. We also cover the positional and tactical aspects of the game. All coaches are RFU vetted and qualified.

All players must wear mouthguards and suitable footwear (ideally kite-marked aluminium studs or moulded rubber studs). Trainers may be appropriate if the ground is hard and dry. Additional body protection is at a player's discretion, although this should be IRB approved. (Shinguards and headgear are encouraged for forwards.) Please bear in
mind the conditions, particularly when cold and wet. It is better to have too many layers than too few but please ensure that there are no zips, buckles etc that could cause injury to an opponent. Also, remember to bring a drink as it can be very thirsty work.

Each week the coaches award a player of the week trophy to a player who, in the opinion of the coaches, has shown commitment, effort, team-spirit, and has listened to and learnt from what has been taught during the morning's session. There is also an end of season presentation to recognise the efforts of the players over the season.

Rugby is a game for all shapes and sizes and we are always looking for new recruits (no experience needed). Please feel free to give Mark or Derrick a call if you have any questions (it is best to check if we are home or away before coming down on a Sunday).

If you're interested in coaching at Farnborough (and dusting down your old boots!), organised RFU coaching courses are available (club-financed) and we are always appreciative if you feel you can help in some other way. Transport to away fixtures can also be accommodated if required.

The season extends from September to April and includes a number of matches and festivals. This season the fixtures will be aimed at the U14 and U15 levels.
