UNDER 13s
OLD HALES HURRICANES
Team Contact: Sara Fowkes
The Old Halesonians U13’s boys team train Friday evenings 6:30pm-8:00pm and matches take place Sunday mornings 10:00am-12:00pm.
Training and home matches are at Wassell Grove. Away matches are in the West Midlands and Worcestershire area.
Pre-season training runs August- September. Weekly fixtures start at the beginning of October 2022 and run through to end of April 2023.
We have a well established squad of over 20 players. Some of whom have been playing with us since they were as young as 5 years old, some that have only started playing rugby within the last 12 months (and every experience level in between).
At U13’s boys level we play 13-aside with unlimited rotating substitutions, this allows us to maximise match time for all players in a safe way using the RFU’s half game rule.
Everyone is welcome, regardless of rugby experience or ability. We’re always looking for new players to join, so if your child is in year 8 at school and wants to give rugby a try please get in contact with us or come along and join us for a training session.
We also have a strong team of adult volunteers who support the U13’s boys development through the season - coaches, first aiders and team administrators. These volunteers all help make it possible for the boys to enjoy getting muddy with their mates on Sunday mornings!
All of our volunteers are parents of players within the squad and all volunteers are DBS checked. If you’re interested in helping out or getting involved as a volunteer please let Sara Fowkes our Team Administrator know.
Player safety is our number one priority - the U13’s boys coaching team strive to make sure every player is safe, competent and confident on the rugby pitch.
Our sessions are designed to be fun and engaging for the players, whilst simultaneously helping each individual develop to their full rugby potential.
We look to create an environment that promotes teamwork, friendship & fun and we ask all our boys to challenge one another to be the best that they can be week-in, week-out. Players just need to bring a good attitude and to be prepared to work hard.
So what are you waiting for? Come down and join us for a session - we look forward to seeing you soon!
