Manchester Rugby Club

Welcome to the under 6s page!

The under 6s team are made up of boys and girls who will be in year 1 at school in September 2024. We train on Sunday mornings on Tag City (behind the supporters stand on the main pitch). Our training sessions are ran by experienced coaches and are designed to be fun and playful, whilst incorporating rugby skills such as passing, catching and running. We aim to develop the childrens understanding of the rules and concept of the game, whilst building their confidence and fitness. At this age, we play completely non-contact, instead using vecro tags to 'tackle'. There are also no fixtures for under 6s, just weekly training. We are seeking to develop confidence, friendships, self- belief and a love for the game of rugby! By nurturing these concepts, we aim to create resilient, kind and thoughtful children who enjoy teamwork and making friends.

All children are welcomed into the squad, regardless of ability or experience. We allow players to recognise their strengths and encourage them to help develop their team mates. We ensure that the children understand and follow Rugby's five core values - Teamwork, Respect, Enjoyment, Discipline, Sportsmanship.
