2018 - 2019 Season
Welcome to Cobham Under 9s Mini Rugby !
Cobham under 9’s welcomes boys and girls of all abilities and experiences to join us on Sunday mornings as the players progress from tag rugby into contact rugby!
We promote the core principles of rugby; namely Teamwork, Respect, Enjoyment, Discipline and Sportsmanship (TREDS) in our sessions and fun is at the centre of everything that we do.
Coaching is provided by parents who themselves attend training courses provided by the RFU and we have a number of experienced coaches running the U9 age group. Child safety is paramount and as such all participating parents are DBS checked.
Our club is run almost exclusively by volunteers and parents are expected to volunteer for occasional duties to help in the running of the club (eg. road crossing, first aid, helping at home festivals, etc.). There are so many ways to get involved at the club. If you have a skill that could help out, please don’t be shy and let us know about it. We’d love to hear from you.

The key elements of the Under 9s Rules of Play are:

Bar and catering are open at the club house on Sunday mornings.
