Support our boys: Macclesfield Minis and Junior 500 club

The M&J 500 club is a great was to raise money for the Mini & Junior section and in turn your child benefits.

We are asking people to buy £5 worth of tickets every month (so the cost of a beer or a glass of wine) numbers have fallen over the last 12 months so we are looking for some new members.

What we have spent the money on so far:

– Coaches jackets – New Balls

– Post Protectors – New kit bags for age groups

– Container to house the training gear – Tape for older age groups

– Ice packs for first aid kits – Sign for the clubhouse

– Food for touring teams – Pendants and Shield for touring teams

– Website access for Coaches – Air horns and loud hailers for festivals

Player safety and expectations:

Macclesfield rugby Under 10s request all players must have a responsible adult present for all training and matches.

We are lucky to have such well-behaved children overall. However, we want a fun, competitive and most importantly safe environment and will therefore be strict in our encouragement of players to stop when the whistle blows, to listen/concentrate to coaches and to pay attention. Please reinforce this message on the way to the club on a Sunday morning.

Many thanks,
