2024/25 Minis & Juniors at ORFC

Welcome to Oakham Rugby Club!

 

Oakham Rugby Club was founded in 1923 and moved to its current site at the start of the 2014/15 season. The club house and grounds are a great facility (and available for hire too!)

 

Training and fixtures 

Mini and junior training and matches take place every Sunday morning from 10.30am – 12.00 mid-day. Junior fixtures (U13’s – U18’s) normally kick off at 11.00am.

The season begins on the first Sunday in September and runs to the first weekend in May when we celebrate the end of the season with our presidents’ weekend

There are a number of matches for all ages throughout the season. These include a number of friendlies (both home and away) and county cup and other competitions.

In addition, U0’s – U12’s organise a (collective) tour each season. Junior teams (U13’s upwards) often organise their own tours too

 

 

Information for each age group will be issued by the relevant coaching/admin team at the start of each week

Playing Policy 

It is club policy that ALL players will get to play in friendly fixtures irrespective of ability.

For competitive fixtures (such as county cup matches) coaches will select a side and your child may not be involved. We ask parents to respect the coaches’ decision

 

Please always be punctual for both fixtures and training, home or away

 

The club endeavours to supply players a snack (very often a hot dog) after most regular Sunday sessions, with obvious exceptions such as County Cup's or Festivals.

RFU Player Registration

 

Account for each Child

 

Parents should not Affiliate as players unless they are playing for the 1st or 2nd XV at ORFC.

 

 

Codes of conduct – players, parents, spectators and coaches

Rugby should be played for fun and by the rules. It is a team game and not an individual sport.

Players should never be forced to play against their will and should be encouraged for good performances not just results

Referees, officials and coaches should be respected. They do make mistakes and are volunteers.

Further details on the code of conduct is available on the website.

 

Home teams should ensure that their changing room is left in a clean and tidy condition, along with that of their opponents'.

 

Kit

Players should always wear official Oakham shirts, shorts and socks which are available from the club shop. Team shirts are available for junior matches (U13-18’s)

Players should always wear rugby boots (but never in the clubhouse).

Players from U9’s upwards should always wear mouth guards. These are available from sports shops, online, dentists, and even from behind the bar if you forget on a Sunday!

Players should also be equipped with tracksuits, wet weather tops, etc.

All kit should be clearly marked with the player’s name.

 

Being a member of ORFC 

We encourage all parents and players to take an active role in the club.

 

The clubhouse is there for both players and their parents to socialise.

 

As well as both junior and senior rugby, there are a number of social events that take place at the club throughout the year.

There are always opportunities for volunteers so please let your age group team know if you can help!

 

Courses are available for injury, first aid and safeguarding, in addition to coaching and refereeing qualifications too

 

Dogs 

For health and safety reasons, dogs are not permitted anywhere on the rugby club’s grounds.
