U11

Welcome to the U11s! After a wonderful start to our rugby journey last year, we’re going again. But this time with more rules, and more fun!!

Head Coach Dave Parry heads up the volunteer coaching team made up of parents from this age group, leading the children through their development with the key focus being on fun, safety and teamwork. Rugby is a fantastic sport, and we hope to show just how fun it can be when approached with positivity and commitment from both players and parents alike.

We start the season with 9 coaches and around 45 players. All volunteering the time and experience to deliver as much fun and development as possible. VOLUNTEERS always welcome though and always needed, no matter how much or little time you can offer. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Our ethos is based on inclusivity; where every player will be given equal opportunity to develop their rugby skills at a pace that suits them, regardless of experience or ability.

Match teams are NOT selected on ability but on attitude and commitment. We hope to run 4 team groups for the season, all of the same level, and all of mixed abilities.

The squads train and play their home matches at The Park playing fields, Cheltenham. Training is generally between 09.30 and 10.45 every Sunday, unless we have matches when the times may vary. And of course, away fixtures will be something we all look forward to once our fixtures kick off at the end of September.

All training and match day information is communicated to parents and carers via our Teamo management app – details of which will be shared once registration is complete.
