Under 13s
Welcome to Sidmouth RFC U13s!
This season it's the big step up for the U13s as they finally put their Mini- & Midi-rugby days behind them. Now it's 15 a-side, full pitches and virtually the adult laws of the game. (At last! - no more calls of "can we do hand-offs?'!) An exciting season is guaranteed for players, coaches and parents as they adjust to the changes.
We are fortunate to have a great coaching team that are committed to helping players develop themselves as young people as well as rugby players. We also have a very supportive parent/volunteer group which helps make the whole rugby experience a team affair and highly enjoyable for player and adult alike. We have toured each of the last six seasons ... always a highlight of the season! ... and intend to do so again this year. Any suggestions of where to tour are gratefully received.
Having gelled well following its significant growth last season, the squad is looking to take the next step up in terms of individual and team development. The natural style of the team is to play fast, open rugby which ought to suit the move up to full pitches and the space that provides.
We play or train on Sunday mornings (10.00am) and there is additional training on Wednesday evenings (6.00pm at Sidford). We already have two new players in the squad this season and are always keen to welcome new faces, so please contact me or Claire Wright if you wish to know more about how to join us, or just turn up on a Sunday morning.
With best wishes
Chris FitzHenry
U13s Coach
