Old Pats RFC

Old Pats

Welcome

The Old Patesians Rugby Club, known as the Old Pats, is a vibrant community rugby club based in Cheltenham Gloucestershire. Located between the suburbs of Charlton Kings and Leckhampton with Leckhampton Hill providing a stunning backdrop the Old Pats is home to over 700 players of all ages and abilities.

Inclusivity is at the heart of everything we do and the driving force of our successes both on and off the pitch.

We have over 100 adults playing everything from irregular social rugby to weekly league rugby and around 360 8–18 year olds playing with their mates at weekends (and tour at the end of the season!). In our sister Tag club there’s 200 4–8 year-olds running around throughout the year.

All our players have the support of a community of volunteers comprising team managers, coaches and club officials with family, friends, supporters and sponsors turning out pitc hside to cheer them along.

If you want to be part of this community and you share our ethos for inclusivity then whatever your aspirations you have a rugby home with the Old Pats.

The Old Pats journey

Minis

Our sister minis club Tag Trojans is managed by ex-Gloucester and Old Pats player Chris Raymond.

Juniors

Old Pats Juniors comprises U9 to U16 and Colts with 360 participating players and 100 volunteers who run the section.

Colts

With around 50 players, Colts is the final step on a player’s journey through the Juniors. With strong links to the Seniors Colts provides a bridge and the support needed to smooth the transition to adult rugby for players wishing to continue their rugby at Old Pats beyond the age of 18.

Seniors

The Old Pats seniors provides 100 players aged 18 and over with the opportunity to play league and social. We are immensely proud that most weekends at least 50% of the players in the Senior teams played junior rugby at Old Pats.
