About the team
Welcome to Hampstead RFC Junior Section. These few notes give you an introduction to the club and (hopefully) tell you what you need to know. If there is anything you would have liked to know, but has not been included, please email james.farmer@hampsteadrugbyclub.co.uk or download our Welcome Pack.
The club plays and trains on Hampstead Heath. All age groups train on Saturday mornings from 10 – 11.45, split into groups with at least one head coach & one assistant running each group. Matches tend to be on a Sunday & are every 3 or 4 weeks. The standard of play varies a good deal, so don't worry if new to the game.
Training takes place just above the running track - here:
The Junior season runs from first weekend in September through to last weekend in May. We only break for Christmas & Easter Bank holidays. All our coaches are required to go through a Rugby Ready course, and we welcome any parental help and will put volunteers through such courses needed.
If interested in trying us out, please email the U11s Team Manager, or just simply turn up on Saturday morning & seek out one of the coaches who will ensure you are placed within the correct group. The only gear required are boots, water, a gum shield if over 9 & something warm to put on after training when cold & wet.
We have a café that sells hot drinks & snacks (plus gum shields) & an online shop for club stash. Training is free, but if you become a regular our fees are £60 membership per child & one Parent membership (also £60) per family. We are an inclusive club, so if fees are an issue we're always willing to have a conversation.
Core Values
Above all we aim to promote rugby’s core values:
- Team Work
- Respect
- Enjoyment
- Discipline
- Sportsmanship
...to which we add "have fun"!
All our lead coaches have been through RFU approved courses & have a core of first aid trained personnel. We promote the RFU ‘Play it Safe’ scheme as our main priority is a child’s well being & for them to enjoy their rugby & we have a set of policies we abide by.
Please give us a try – you won’t regret it!
