Junior Section

At Redditch RFC we have a thriving Junior and Minis section with over 150 kids playing and training on a weekly basis.

We have teams from U7/8s who are just starting out playing tag rugby where no scores are kept and it's all about having fun and learning key skills.

The the contact begins at U9s with tackling only and no rucks or mauls, these start at U10s. Once we get to U11s we start having scrums and developing more key skills essential to a child's development. At U12s the game starts becoming more like the full game with unlimited rucks and mauls plus 5 man scrums. From here the game progresses to U13s with unlimited kicking and 6 man scrums. Once the kids hit U14s we start with uncontested line outs and start playing in a knock out cup competition! U15s brings lifting in the line outs and a league structure to add a more competitive element to the game. Finally U16s brings it all together with contested line outs the last step in the development.

This gradually increase is all part of the RFUs new approach to age grade rugby and is full in line with the principles of the game TREDS.

Teamwork Respect Enjoyment Discipline Sportsmanship.

All our coaches are fully DBS checked and trained to Level 2.
