It’s all about having fun whilst learning and improving on the basic skills and core values of the game at Macclesfield Rugby: teamwork, respect, enjoyment, discipline & sportsmanship. The Under 12’s have a vibrant squad of players and a fantastic very committed coaching team.
We always look to do lots of extra social activities to build team spirit as well.
WE ARE RECRUITING!
Macclesfield Rugby Under 12s would love to see any boys or girls (born between 1st September 2008 – 31st August 2009) who are interested in trying out rugby for the first time, or have indeed played at another club in the past. So, if you want to know more, please either get in touch or if you prefer, just come on down to one of our training sessions on a Sunday morning at 11am when we are at home – see fixtures below for details.

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
Plus we have some additional kit for each team in September
So just complete the form, drop it off at the club or email to Rob and you will be entered the following month.
ALL proceeds are spent on improving the M&J section.
All you need to do is complete the linked Direct Debit form and hand it in to Jonathan at the Rugby Club or speak with Rob Oliver telephone: 07835 775955 email: Robert.oliver72@btinternet.com.
Player safety and expectations
The Macclesfield Under 12s coaches request that all players must have a responsible adult present for all training sessions and matches.
We are lucky to have such well-behaved lads 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,
Mark , Tim , Chris, Paul & Dom
