The Rain did not stay away for our first training session!

Welcome Back!
Although many of the squad enjoyed summer touch rugby at Ashridge, today was the start of our season as Under 11s. Nice to see some grass, even on pitch three, and clearly the rain had to come back!
It was great to have four new players start at our club today, and they all seemed to enjoy their first time. Please ask all the players to invite friends, the more the merrier!
We focused our session today on some of the new rule changes for the under 11 season. This year we can have two players from each side into the ruck, in addition to the tackler/ ball carrier; the hookers can compete for the ball in the scrum; and kicking is introduced! It will take some time for everyone to get used to this, so we will focus on the new rules as we prepare for out first two festivals.
For next week the coaches will put the players into two squads, we will work in this way for the next three training sessions before our first festival. We may make changes to the squads, but we think this will ensure the players get used to working with each other and start the festivals better than they have in the past.
Don't forget to fill in the forms Becky has sent you, and pay your subs. Without this we will not be able to select the players for the festivals.
