Gumshields/Mouthguards

  • Gumshields/mouthguards are highly recommended for U7 & U8 players and compulsory for U9 upwards. Players may opt for either “dentist” fitted or the less expensive standard guards that can be moulded to “fit” at home.  Please see the club calendar for the next dentist gum shield fitting. Other mouthguards are available from the club shop.

Boot Studs

  • Players’ boots should have Aluminium studs complying to BS6366 – studs should be checked regularly for jagged edges as these pose a serious danger to other players.  Please note that rugby studs may be worn for football, but not vice versa. Aluminium studs are available from the club shop.
  • Moulded plastic studs and rubber blades may be used but must be checked on a regular basis - however boots with 'blade' type soles which have a metal tip on the rubber/plastic are not legal

Severe Weather Clothing

  • All players should come adequately equipped to cope with the weather conditions that can occur during the winter months – this includes hats and wet weather gear where appropriate.  It is better for the children to wear plenty of layers that may be removed accordingly.

Refreshments

  • Refreshments can be bought at the club, but please ensure that your child has access to drinks during training and in between matches.

Concussion

  • If any player suffers a knock which results in momentary unconsciousness, confusion, memory loss or unsteadiness, then there is evidence of definite concussion injuries. The player in question should be taken from the field of play and proper medical attention sought.
  • Please note that in any event, irrespective of age, the player may not play rugby for  a compulsory twenty one day period.

Tetanus Injection

  • If not already done so mini rugby players should have a preventative course of tetanus injections.  General Practitioners should be able to advise.

Responsibilities of Parents, Coaches and Managers

  • Coaches and managers cannot take legal responsibility for those players whose parents leave them during training sessions, tournaments and games.  It should be remembered that the training session is not a crèche!
  • If parents/carers have to leave the ground for any reason during a training session, tournament or game, they should appoint a fellow parent to be responsible for their child.

Medical or Other Conditions

  • Parents/carers must notify coaches of any condition, eg asthma, diabetes, attention deficit disorder, epilepsy, that could affect a player during a session.  Appropriate medication should be with the players’ parents/carers at all times.
