BoE Mini/Youth Rugby

Welcome to Mini Rugby at the Bank of England

We will be playing Under 7 & 8, U9 & 10, U11 & 12 Mini/Midi Rugby and various Youth Rugby age groups. Boys and girls play together up to and including Under 12 and after that our sides are currently boys only.

Mini and youth rugby is open to both members and non-members of the Bank of England Sports Club and we are especially keen to welcome new players. Subscriptions cover all training sessions, tournaments and the end of season awards lunch.

We train at the Bank of England Sports Club on Sunday mornings. There are slightly different start times for the different age groups. . U7 to U12 start at 9:45am to 11:15am, Youth at 11:15am-1pm, both for 90 mins.

Although we always try to avoid it, sometimes conditions are so wet or cold that rugby has to be cancelled. If it looks as if this might be the case then, before travelling call our information line on 07951 957662 for up to date news.

We are also very lucky to have the use of the Bank of England Sports Club facilities. It is sometimes forgotten that there are changing rooms and showers that the players can, and indeed are, encouraged to use. Once the weather becomes wetter players are asked by the sports club to change before coming into the clubhouse.

We play a good number of other clubs each season either at single fixtures, where we play one other club, “triangulars” where three clubs play a fairly informal knockout tournament, and larger tournaments organised by other clubs and Middlesex RFU with whom we are affiliated.

We try to make sure that every boy or girl gets a chance to represent the club. As always at ‘The Bank’, our primary focus is on FUN and we do not support a ‘win at all costs’ philosophy. Having said that, we always try to perform to our best at every training session, fixture, triangular and festival.
