Beaconsfield Rugby Club Juniors U12's

Welcome to the Juniors group at Beaconsfield Rugby club. It is a large club with very good support from mums and dads who bring their sons and daughters to regular Sunday morning training sessions.


What is mini rugby?

Mini rugby is a safe, non contact form of rugby developed by the RFU for young players to be introduced to a safe form of rugby. Training follows strict guidance from the RFU with teams of 7 players playing mini rugby.

* Teams are made up of 7 players.
* Players wear belts with Velcro tags
* Players must stay on their feet
* The players pass the ball backwards
* Players score tries or collect tags
* No physical contact is allowed

Where Do We Train?

The home training takes place at the club on the pitch behind the 4x4 car park on Sunday mornings. Registration is at 10:15 and training starts at 10:30

How Many Children Play?

Children come from different backgrounds, schools and locations in and around Beaconsfield. There are over 70 registered players and regularly well over 50 boys and girls attend training. New players should direct questions to sharon holbrough sharon.holbrough@googlemail.com the U8's Manager or sign up at www.mychq.net by following the instructions.

Tel: 01494 673783

Beaconsfield is situated in South Bucks just off Junction 2 of the M40;
halfway between the M25 and High Wycombe junctions. The Rugby Club is shown
on the map (see link above) near the arrow and marked 'Pav'.

From the M25, exit at Junction 16 and head North towards Oxford along the M40.
Exit at Junction 2 and follow the A355 to Beaconsfield. After about 500m you will come to a large roundabout, turn left and continue past Beaconsfield Cricket Club, which will be on your right hand side. At the next mini roundabout continue straight through Beaconsfield Old Town along the A40 towards High Wycombe.

At the next roundabout you will see The Saracens Head on your left hand side,
turn left down Windsor End, you will pass a Church on your right and The Greyhound Pub on your left. Keep going for about 400 metres and you will see the pitches and clubhouse to your left.

Nearest station is Beaconsfield served by Chiltern Railways. The station is about
1 mile north of the clubhouse.
Parking

We would ask all club members and visitors to the club to take particular care
when parking at BRFC when you visit the club. We do have small car parks on either side of the club house but these usually fill up very early. The rear carpark has a reserved space for an ambulance.

Additional parking is available opposite the club next door to the mini-pitches. This area is unpaved and is therefore particularly suitable for those with 4 X 4s and we would ask anyone with a 4 X 4 to use this facility.

No parking at all is allowed on Cross Lane (the lane next to the mini pitches)
beyond the clubhouse. This road provides an emergency access not only to the club but to a residential home and as such we must keep it totally clear.

Roadside parking is available between the club and Old Beaconsfield (Windsor End). However, please park on the road rather than the grass verges and avoid blocking any driveways.

The club is part of the local community and our neighbours appreciate the care we take in this respect.

In view of the possible health hazards no dogs are allowed onto the training grounds even on a leash.
