Mini/Juniors

Under 7’s and under 8’s at Syston Rugby Club

Both age groups train together but however, play separately on match days.

The training and playing is based around the concept of Tag rugby having fun and learning the basics, passing weaving defending, in a safe environment of tag rugby. The training sessions last about an hour and a half and there are up to 17 games in the season. The season starts with our own festival and ends with the Leicestershire county festival at the end of the season.

One of the highlights is an all age, tour for the mini section to a destination within the U.K. All training is undertaken by people who have been C.R.B. checked and overseen by Level 1 coaches. Everyone is welcome to come down, training is from 10 am until 12:00 at the club on Sunday mornings.
