As with most sports, players need suitable kit, at the club this will be: rugby boots (No blades, metal studs), socks, shorts and shirt, mouth guard and water bottle.

The clubs colours are Black and Amber, and Team shirts should be worn on match days. Shorts should be Black. Kit and items are available from the club shop to purchase if required.

Boots, with safety studs, should be certified to IRB regulations. In warm, dry weather trainers or moulded boots may be acceptable.

Mouth guards are strongly recommended once they start contact at U9 level and required , and you can obtain custom made mouth guards.

Any other protective equipment is worn at the discretion of the parent / player but must conform to IRB standards (a reputable sports shop can advise).

Wearing layers means players can discard items as they warm up. Waterproof tops must not have zips.

Players will need a set of clean clothes to change into after training or matches.
After matches shirts and ties are to be worn by U13s upwards as a mark of respect.

Players’ drinks should be provided, especially on hot days, when sun screen may be needed.
