We are now 5 weeks in to the season and hope your children are really enjoying their introduction to rugby. Each age group is eventually run & managed by parents and we now need to put some structure in place with key roles being fulfilled by YOU! The club offers support through this process and we can answer any questions you may have before you commit.

Lead Coach Keith Bush has volunteered to become the lead coach. Keith has been a member of the club for a number of year with his son Alex in the U12s. Thank you Keith for stepping up.
Coaches A good number of you are attending the Rugby Ready course this Sunday and the Introduction to Tag course in November. If you are unable to make these dates but are still interested please email Leon. The more coaches there are the less there is to do. The club invests in all coaching courses and no prior experience is necessary.
Team Manager To ensure the smooth running of the age group. This will involve assisting with communication, liaising with the fixture secretary, youth treasurer, membership secretary and player registrar, acting as a backup and dealing with online "paperwork". You need to be

Well organised
Friendly and approachable
Good at communication
Computer literate

Social Secretary Larger than life character who spends all day everyday at the bar. Well not really but it helps if you can organise drinks for the adults and events for the kids.
First Aid coordinator We need a point of contact who can ensure the age group has enough First Aiders and equipment. Courses are available for those interested. Again the club pays for these.

Please contact Kevin for further details on any of the above.

Otherwise the main task for everyone is to register & pay your subs online. Please register as yourself not the child. Use this guide on how to update your profile. We encourage both parents / careers to register so we have emergency contact details if required.

If you have only one child in the U6 then the annual subs comes to £100 and can be paid online. Two or more then £80 per child thereafter again paid online.

Age range For clarification the U6s should be in year 1 at school or in a date range of 01/09/2009 to 31/08/2010. Any older and they should be in the U7s. Any younger and they should be in the Mini Titans.
