Our Under 16s squad is where passion meets potential.
This talented group of young athletes are stepping up to the full 15-a-side game, embracing competitive scrums, contested line-outs and the fast-paced, physical style that makes rugby so exciting. Players are honing their technical skills, deepening their understanding of the game and developing the resilience and teamwork that rugby is known for.
More than just a team, we’re a tight-knit rugby family. Every training session focuses on developing core skills, tactical awareness, and physical fitness, while staying true to the RFU Core Values.
The U16s play 35 minute halves and are at a pivotal stage in their rugby journey, preparing for higher-level competition and representing the club with pride in every match. Whether it’s a hard-fought league fixture or a friendly against local rivals, our players give their all – on and off the pitch.
Our focus areas:
- Technical Skills – perfecting passing, tackling, rucking, mauling, and kicking under pressure.
- Tactical Awareness – reading the game, anticipating opposition moves and making smart decisions in the heat of play.
- Physical Development – building strength, speed, agility and endurance through tailored training.
- Mental Resilience – developing focus, discipline and the confidence to overcome challenges.
- Team Culture – fostering respect, sportsmanship and a strong sense of belonging on and off the pitch.
