Mini Section

WELCOME TO THE MINI SECTION OF NORWICH RUGBY CLUB 2018/19

Lion Cubs (U6) – U12
As the new Director of Mini Rugby at Norwich RFC I would like to welcome you to the 2018 / 2019 season on behalf of all the Mini section coaches and volunteers.  We are a warm friendly group and many of the current coaches started their rugby journey in this same section many (many) years ago. To my knowledge at least three mini section coaches have played international junior rugby!

As we start the new season it is possible that you will be playing alongside a future international player but whatever your personal rugby goals I hope that Norwich RFC can help develop the skills for every player to reach their full potential whilst having fun, learning and building confidence. It is the aim of the Club that all coaches, players, parents and spectators follow the Rugby Football Unions core Values – TREADS
Teamwork
Respect
Enjoyment
Discipline
Sportsmanship

Norwich Mini section has a long and proud tradition of being fully supportive of the core values and places these at the heart of all the mini section does. To encourage this even further I have registered the Mini Section in the RFU Quilter Kids First which rewards individuals and teams for displaying outstanding core values – further updates will be posted as the season progresses.

At the centre of the mini section is our young players who we hope will have great fun and enjoyment throughout the season.
I will endeavour to keep news up to date on our website and newsletters – should anyone have any concerns regarding the Mini section please contact me.
Best wishes for the forthcoming season.

Giles

ALL THE YEAR GROUP CONTACTS ARE ON THIS PAGE, PLEASE SCROLL DOWN

Our Lion Cubs group is thriving and was created for under 6 children that the RFU have deemed too young to play matches. Here they will learn basic skills in a fun environment that will build their confidence and lead them nicely into the U7 group when they are old enough. To find out which age group your child is eligible for please see the table below:

Q: Which group should I be in?

A:  Your group is determined by your age as of 1st September each year. If you are 9 years old on the 1st September, you will be in the Under 10's. You Team Manager will make sure that you are in the right group.

Please check when we are at home from the fixture list and come and see us at 10.15am on Sundays.

You will find a warm welcome waiting for you at Norwich Minis. We look forward to seeing you.

Everyone needs to be aware of the issue of concussion, it's been in the news enough. Parents and officials are requested to familiarise themselves with this RFU video on the subject.
