WELCOME

Many thanks for registering to bring a team to the 2023 CRFU Under 7s and Under 8s County Festival. We hope you will find all the information that you require in this information pack – please feel free to pass the link on to parents and players.

The emphasis of the Festival is on the fun aspects of playing rugby and after discussion and agreement with the CRFU Mini-Junior Committee we have decided to continue to run the U7s & U8s Festival on a “friendly” basis. This effectively means that there will be no semi-final and finals and no outright winner of the pools or the competition.

We will be running a number of rugby related games alongside the matches, which all teams can use – These are being provided just for the children’s enjoyment and there will be no prizes awarded.

The day is all about the children having fun and creating rugby memories – please can you ensure that all spectators, players and coaches follow the RFU codes of conduct to ensure that everyone has a positive experience of the day, i.e. lots of praise and encouragement to your team and the opposition. If on the day you see or hear something negative that you feel needs dealing with, please do not hesitate to give Melody (07977 559348) or Mark (07813 309116) a call.

Please respect the pitches and try and keep spectators behind the ropes and barriers. Please also respect the club house by not entering whilst wearing any dirty or muddy clothing. Please remove all rugby boots before entering the clubhouse.

If you have any queries, please contact us using the details provided.
