Who: The U8s is our age group for children in school year 3.

When: U8s Training/Matches are on Sundays 10am-11:30am. The Minis rugby season runs from September to April. The first Training session of the 2022/23 season will be on 28th August.

Where: Training/Home matches take place at the rugby club - Oakfield, Long Ln, Grays RM16 2QH (Entrance through the Rugby Club through the gate to the south of the club to the ‘council pitches’) The U8 pitches are to the far left of this field.

Tag Rugby: The format at U7s and U8s ages is Non-Contact (Tag Rugby) with the aim to get our children used to some of the more simple laws and principles of rugby before contact is introduced at U9s. We are always looking for girls and boys of all abilities. Our coaching focuses on Teamwork, Respect, Enjoyment, Discipline and Sportsmanship.

If you want to try it out, either just come along on Sundays and ask for Sam Porter (U8s Coach)
