UNDER 15’s
The Under 15s rugby team is a key stage in a young player’s journey, where the game becomes faster, more physical, and tactically sophisticated. At this level, players are expected to demonstrate a strong understanding of positional roles, team structures, and strategic decision-making—while continuing to develop their skills, resilience, and teamwork.
Training focuses on honing core techniques under pressure, including tackling, ball handling, rucking, mauling, lineouts, scrummaging, and tactical kicking. Sessions also emphasise game management, encouraging players to analyse play, adapt strategies, and take control of momentum during matches. Players develop a deeper understanding of attack and defence systems, learning how to build phases, manipulate space, and maintain intensity throughout the game.
Communication and leadership are essential. Players are encouraged to take more ownership—organising defensive lines, calling attacking plays, and supporting one another on and off the field. Coaches nurture leadership in all positions, helping players step up with confidence and lead through both words and actions.
Player safety remains a priority, especially as contact becomes more powerful and sustained. Coaches ensure all contact elements are delivered with proper technique, and that physical conditioning, recovery, and injury prevention are part of regular training. Respect for opponents, teammates, and officials is always reinforced.
The Under 15s season includes a full calendar of competitive matches, cup competitions, and friendly fixtures, providing opportunities to perform under pressure and grow as a team. This is a year where players start to take real responsibility for their performance and development—deepening their commitment to the sport, strengthening bonds with teammates, and continuing to enjoy everything rugby has to offer.
We are always on the lookout for new players to join us, if you have played for another club before or never picked up a ball, we are always keen to get you involved and help you love and enjoy rugby as much as we do.
