Girls U14 & U16 Intercounty Rugby

8/3/2023

We are looking at setting up a rugby InterCounty for U14s and U16s girls.
Girls currently playing at the club or wanting to join and train for this game only, beginners or returning, are welcome.

WHEN : FRIDAY 12th MAY in Shetland.
Travel will be by ferry on Thursday night, return on Friday night.
A contribution to travel cost of £10 will be asked from the girls (travel and accommodation will be covered by the club).

TRAINING:
Training will be on Monday night 5.30 to 7pm at the rugby club, starting on 20 March.
"Come and try" session on Monday 13th March.
Bad weather back up facility is the Market Stance (riding centre) just outside Kirkwall on Old Finstown road.
Parents will get an email notification if we expect the weather to be bad.

Girls wanting to participate are requested to train as regularly as possible, to build up rugby skills and team work. Required kit for training is suitable clothing, rugby boots, a water bottle and a mouth guard/gumshield.
As rugby is a contact game, we ask the girls to remove or tape all jewellery and keep their nails short.
(players can come to the first sessions with trainers if they do not own rugby boots yet)

WHO:
Current players, beginners or returning players all welcome. There will be an u14s team and a u16s team.
(Both teams will train at the same time, though girl will be training mainly with their age group )
