The Old Pats U16’s is made up of over fifty active players divided into two mixed ability squads. Our Head Coach, David Jones, who has worked with the majority of the players since they were U9’s, oversees both squads providing interesting and challenging training sessions that are designed to maximise the potential of each and every player.

Each squad has a team of coaches who are dedicated to the development of all our players under the guidance of David.

The squads train and play their home matches at Bourneside School, Bourneside Road, Cheltenham. Other home matches will be played at Everest Road. Training is generally between 10.30 and midday every Sunday, unless we have matches when the times may vary. All training and match day information is communicated to parents and carers via our Teamo management app.

We are all looking forward to a busy 2021/22 season following the disruptions caused by COVID 19 in 2020/21. We have a squad of over fifty players and divide them into two flexible teams. The 2021/22 season will see all our players involved with their continuing development based around the RFU’s TREDS values. We are conscious of the amount of rugby that some of our players will be involved with and this will be closely managed to balance playing time and recovery time.
