MINI & JUNIOR RUGBY

Hafod Rams
Mini & Junior Rugby at
Hafodyrynys RFC
For peace of mind:
All Staff CRB Checked
 
First Year
This is the first year for the club to venture into Mini/Junior Rugby and although we have a rather steep learning curve to climb the progress has been very pleasing. The teams have played against a good selection of clubs and the players have pleased the coaches with their skills and progress. This standard of rugby is aimed at teaching new skills, developing the individual and team spirit; it is not about winning in these early years but the child’s development. We are striving for is fun experience for both children and the family and we openly encourage the family to come along for matches and training to join in with the experience. Team sports will bring out the individual, improve self-confidence, awareness and add to general overall fitness. This process must be an improvement on the very insular activity of just sitting in front of a game consul for hours on end. Let’s get all the family out there, get a bit of fresh air in those lungs and have a fun day.
 
Teams
At the moment we run Under 7s, Under 8s and Under 11s teams but this is only due the numbers currently here at the club; we will add more teams as numbers increase. Our Under 8s and Under 11s teams are desperate for a few more members; so come along and join us. A year is not that long in sport and soon our Under 7s will be the Under 8s, etc. so come along join in the fun now; don’t miss out on the opportunity.

Minis
From the age of 6 both boys and girls can play Mini rugby as mixed teams and can continue to do so up to Junior rugby level. These mixed teams play Tag rugby up to the Under 8 stage. Contact rugby is then played for Under 9 and older age groups
Juniors
Junior rugby starts at Under 13s and at this stage mixed rugby gets a bit complicated and boys and girls within teams start to separate. "Girls are permitted to play mixed rugby up to and during the season in which they are Under 12 as of 1st September." Female rugby is quite strong in Wales so there's no reason for the girls to not continue their rugby through the Junior section and on. So far we have not attracted any candidates for our Junior section here but we are working on this; in reality those that have started in Mini sections usually populate the Junior sections.
Protection
There is a Child Protection Policy in place and all coaches, players and spectators are covered by a Code of Conduct. All staff involved with the Minis/Juniors are CRB checked.
 
Fixtures
Since this the first year we have run this section of the club there is no formal fixture list. This will be put into place for future years now that we have established ourselves.
 
Fixtures are for now being arranged on an ad hoc basis. But so far the club has already played Ynysddu, Garndiffith, Newbridge, Rhymney and Cefn Coed y Cwmmer, to name but few.
 
Next match...
 
Garndifaith   Under 7-8s
