MINI RUGBY INFORMATION<\/strong><\/h3>\n

New Players – Welcome! Parents \/ guardians of \u00a0players in the P1 – P3 groups should stay for the duration of training.<\/p>\n

Registration – All players MUST be registered. Registration is now all online. Check out the membership page on this website for cost details.<\/p>\n

Training Times – P1 – P3 \u00a09:00am – 10:00am P4 – U12 9:00am -10:30am.<\/p>\n

Playing Kit – City of Armagh RFC branded Samurai kit is available to purchase in the club shop on most Saturday mornings during the season. This will include shorts, socks and playing shirts plus T Shirts and 1\/4 zip tops etc. Players should have studded boots. For younger age group gloves and hats are recommended during the colder months. Hoodies, baseball hats and jewellery are NOT permitted. Gum shields are also essential \u00a0from P4-P7 as these groups are at \u00a0full tackling stage.<\/p>\n

Pick Up \/ Drop Off – It is the responsibility of the parents\/guardians to ensure that all their children are brought over and collected to the relative age group training areas. We don\u2019t, with just one or two exceptions, have buses for away fixtures, talk to other parents and car share to away games.<\/p>\n

Car Park – We have ample car parking, please keep speed to a minimum during drop off\/pick up. DO NOT PARK alongside the 1st pitch to allow access for emergency medical access.<\/p>\n

Coaches – All our coaches are Access NI (PSNI) checked, put through the club\u2019s Child Protection training and have IRFU<\/p>\n

Rugby coaching course accreditation. All our coaches are volunteers. Contact details for our coaches are contained within this club handbook.<\/p>\n

Contact details for age group lead coaches are in the club handbook.<\/p>\n

Child Protection – If you have any issues or concerns on this please contact our Club Welfare Officer – Melanie Beggs – 07743 796897<\/p>\n

Matches – A schedule of matches is online and in the club handbook. Always check for last minute amendments.<\/p>\n

WhatsApp – is used for general communication and notifications re fixtures etc<\/p>\n

Weather – Our pitches are very well drained and as such, training is rarely cancelled, only in times of heavy frost. If we do have to cancel, we will try to communicate this in good time. Common sense will apply if there is heavy rain during training and coaches may decide to end the training early, so please be aware of this for pick-up arrangements.<\/p>\n

Home Matches – On match days we feed all children after the matches. A rota is in place to assist with this, based on each age group parents taking their turn. Please offer your help to age group coaches.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
