Junior Section Notice Board
Message from Alex Davies
- With over 70 junior players, this continues to be a vibrant and growing section of the rugby club. The lower age groups in particular are successful in attracting new members to the club. Children can join the action from as young as five years old and those of you who have seen them will know how infectious their enthusiasm is.
The club has developed strong squads in mid age ranges that continue to be successful in festivals and competitions across the county.
Keeping a squad together when the boys have to make a choice between football and rugby is always a challenge for smaller clubs. This year the club has succeeded in retaining and recruiting new players to form a competitive squad in the Under 12 age group.
A big thank you to the coaches and parents that give their time to the club every Sunday morning without whose help this key element of Knutsford Rugby Club would not exist. However, volunteers are always welcome so if you feel that you are able to offer your time please contact Steve Mooney on 07891 488 427.

- Joining the Mini and Junior Section; Practical information to help out. Please park at Egerton Youth Club, Mereheath Lane at 10:30am in the morning and ask for Alex or Jill. All players who are in Year 1 and above are really welcome to join the club and play rugby.
At Year 1, children will not play any fixtures but will be supervised by a coach and the aim is to simply to have fun and enjoy the experience. All 'training' takes place at Knutsford Sports Club together with our U7-U9's.
At Year 2, players can play for the U7 team and at this age group they will play in fixtures against other age matched teams within Cheshire. (There are a number of away games throughout the season).
Our U10 and U11 players will play on the senior playing pitch at Egerton Youth Club.
If this is a new experience please send an e-mail by clicking on the link below or ask for Steve Mooney/Alex Davies on the day.
- Please click here to send a message to the Club and we'll do our best to answer it as soon as we can.
