Jeff Neville, Director of Rugby, explains how the club has a team for everyone, and a pathway for minis to progress through the stages up to senior level. A new initiative where senior and older youth players volunteer their time to help coach mini, youth and disability tag teams, and how the mini players are involved in supporting senior teams as mascot and kicking tee runners. We also now regularly see the senior teams arriving to support their counter part, and clap them on to the pitch.

The club hopes to show our younger players that they are valued, change the narrative to showcase that we are one big team, and we’ll shout for each other.
