Macclesfield Rugby Under 9s would love to see any boys or girls 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 at the Club on a Sunday morning at 10am when we are playing at home – see fixtures below for details.

 

 

This season will be the first season of playing contact matches where tackling is now part of the game, we will progress the key skills that were learned last year. It is all still about having fun while continuing to improve the basic skills and core values of the game: Teamwork, Respect, Enjoyment, Discipline & Sportsmanship.

 

Following all home games and training sessions the clubhouse will be open for hot food and drinks. Please remember this facility is available for all to use both players and supporters. No rugby boots allowed in the clubhouse, also please remove any muddy clothes!
