U6 Minis Boys & Girls

To start in Under 6s in September players need to be 5 before the 31 August  - ie going in to Year 1 at school.

Unfortunately we can't make any exceptions, but until your child is ready to join us, why not check out RugbyTots, who have option for children from the age of 2 and a half: Rugbytots - Fun Rugby Activities for Children and Toddlers

Training takes place on Sunday mornings from the beginning of September to the end of April, between 9 and 10am at the Rugby Club. 

At present U6s will train on Pitch 2 which is adjacent to the Jersey Bowl carpark.

Please park in the Club carpark, NOT in Jersey Bowl.

Parents are welcome to stay and watch training - if you are not staying please ensure you are contactable on the number you provided on registration - if there are any changes please advise the squad manager.

Players will need the following:

• Comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing with no hoods or zips. Layers are a good idea for colder days and gloves/beanie hats are fine too
• Studded boots (studs should be either full moulded or full metal - NO METAL TIPS)
• Named bottle of water

It is not essential, but should you wish to buy M&Js branded kit we have a range of items, including clothing, accessories and mouthguards available from

• our Shop on a Sunday morning (in the container between Pitches 2 and 4)
• JSSK at Quennevais Precinct
• online at Jersey Reds Minis & Juniors | Jersey Schools & Sports Kit (jssk.co.uk)

Mouthguards are not mandatory at this level as there is no contact, and the wearing of a mouthguard for tag rugby is a matter of parental choice. 

Above all, Rugby for our youngest players is FUN! 

Rugby is an opportunity for children to run around outdoors and have a great time with their friends. At the first stage of the Minis and Juniors we aim to provide sessions which are:

• delivered in a safe, secure and enabling environment
• active, enjoyable, engaging and accessible for all children
• appropriate for the age and development of each child, appreciating the range of competencies that might exist within the group
• linked to the RFU’s Core Values of Teamwork, Respect, Enjoyment, Discipline and Sportsmanship
