Welcome to a new season of Rugby.

To all the new players joining us this season welcome to the club. To returning players I hope you had a good rest, enjoyed your chosen summer sports and are fit and raring to go for the new season.
Norwich Rugby Club has teams from U6 – adult and the mini section is responsible for the U6 – U12 sides.
 For all parents and player’s, I want to take the opportunity to remind you of the Norwich RFCs commitment to the RFUs core values which apply to every single player in England:

TREDS
Teamwork
Respect
Enjoyment
Discipline
Sportsmanship
There will be plenty of more information in and around the club on this throughout the season or available on the web. www.englandrugby/corevalues

The mini section at Norwich RFC is registered as a Quilter Kids First promotor. We aim to ensure that the children are having fun and learning in a safe environment.

This season all the Norwich mini and youth teams will implement the Half Game Rule that has been introduced by the RFU. Further information regarding this will be available in the club house or by visiting www.englandrugby.com/halfgame

If anyone has any queries or suggestions please do not hesitate to contact me.
Best Wishes for the season ahead

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.
