Welcome to U5!
Welcome to the U5 Boys and Girls team!
Our U5 interim Head Coach is Pro Coach Leader for the Minis section, Henry Shiell. Henry will manage the U5 age group until a suitable parent is identified. Henry is well supported by a core group of parent volunteers and our club wide Director of Rugby. See below for their details and how to contact them with any questions about the U5 programme.
The U5 team trains from Sunday 3rd September 2023 to April 2024 for the 2023/24 season. Typically, they train every Sunday morning at Happy Valley Sports Ground from 08:00 – 09:30 unless there is a Minis Rugby Festival or it is a key holiday period.
