Squad Information.....

School Year 11

After a fantsatic season in the Under 15s with our first team getting promoted and our second team climbing the league ranks, we now move up to the Under 16s, ready to continue with another season of very exciting contact rugby. 

We encourage boys of all ability levels to get involved.  Hence, we have players ranging from new starters to County Rugby, to Premiership Academy level rugby right up to England development squad rugby.

The motto of our squad is “WE NEVER CANCEL”. Training is “ALWAYS ON”, pretty much every week of the year. Due to the fact we have a number of backup training locations, even in the worst of conditions, we always have somewhere suitable for some productive training

That said, we do encourage our players to take rugby in their own stride. Namely, train when and how often is suitable to them. As with all things though, what you put in is generally what you get out. Our ethos is that if a boy wants to train, we'll be there to help. However, we won't mind if a boy wants to train less often or on their own terms.

As always, much emphasis remains on inclusion and enjoyment. Building confidence and ensuring they understand that contact rugby is both safe and fun is key.

During the U16s season we will be one of the few squads entering two teams into the Hampshire League competition, as per last season. As well as this, we have a great number of exciting friendly match fixtures, both home and away.

Players are selected to play for either the first or second team, dependant on how they are currently playing with respect to their squad mates. Hence, plenty of scope to move between teams as we promote and encourage progression, plus many match opportunities for all ability levels.

We are lucky to have such a devoted team of qualified coaches, first aiders and parent helpers who make coming to training a joy for the boys and all involved.

We are a very friendly and welcoming squad that regularly engage in social occasions, plus we also run an annual "End of Season Tour" which is always very popular (and very funny!!!!).

We welcome players at any time throughout season and during summer training, so if you know someone that could be interested, please give us a call. The first few sessions are FREE, so a good opportunity to pop along and get a taster.

A new starters document for our group is also available, detailing everything you need to know about how we work and what you need to bring.

Please contact Head Coach Lee Young (see above contact details) before coming down for the first time.
