Message from the Chairman of Mini and Junior Rugby
Welcome to our eleventh season of youth rugby at Shipston. From a starting group of about forty youngsters we have grown to over 260 members in age groups from under 7s to under 17s. We pride ourselves on being a family friendly club where everyone is welcome and look forward to seeing you all again in September.
The success and continuation of the youth section is dependent on the many people who willingly give up their time to coach, administrate and officiate the section and we owe them a great deal of thanks. However due to the large numbers of children now coming through the club we are looking for more volunteers to share the work load. At present we are seeking a junior fixture secretary and volunteers from each age group to help with administration and kitchen duty. Two/three people are required to run the second hand kit stall during September. Then of course there is the annual mini festival-this really is a day that the more hands and heads involved the more successful the day can be. This year the festival will be held on Sunday 5th October. If you are able to help in anyway with the above, with sponsorship, coaching, organising social events please see or Richard or Jane Slatter.
10.30 - 12 Noon Sunday Mornings, September to April
We have RFU-qualified coaches running groups in age groups U12 to U17, and we play matches against other clubs every second weekend starting in October.
