Under 10 Mixed

Welcome to U10 Mixed Rugby

At this stage, players aged 9 and 10 step further into the world of contact rugby, refining their tackling, passing, and overall gameplay skills. U10 rugby introduces more advanced techniques like rucking and mauling, while continuing to focus on safety, teamwork, and enjoyment. As the game becomes more competitive, players also develop a deeper understanding of strategy, positioning, and communication on the field. With engaging practices and exciting matches, U10 rugby provides a balanced environment where young athletes can challenge themselves, improve their abilities, and grow their passion for the sport.

Under 10 Squad Information

Age Grade Regulations

To join the U10 squad in September you need to be 9 years old by 31st August and starting Year 5 at school.

At Under 10, players are encouraged to further develop their contact game. Coaching will build on the tackling skills introduced last season, as well as continuing with drills and fun games to help embed core handling skills.

This season we introduce a 3-player uncontested scrum, as well as 1-on-1 ruck and maul. All contact elements are introduced gradually and in a safe and controlled manner by our qualified coaches.

Games are 8-a-side and 15 minutes each way.

Rugby Kit

Players will need the following:

Comfortable, weather-appropriate clothing with no hoods or zips. Layers are a good idea for colder days and gloves/beanie hats are fine too
Mouthguard
Studded boots (studs should be either full moulded or full metal - NO METAL TIPS)
Named bottle of water

It is not mandatory, but should you wish to buy M&Js branded kit we have a range of items, including clothing, accessories and mouthguards available from our Shop on a Sunday morning in the container between Pitches 2 and 4.

Kindly remember that any player without a mouthguard will not be able to participate fully in training.
