The Minis and Juniors section of Falmouth Rugby Club is open to all boys and girls aged between six and 16 years, though sessions are open to five-year-olds for training only. Players train with qualified rugby coaches every Sunday and, in some cases, one evening a week.

We provide a safe and enjoyable environment for youngsters in the area to learn and develop a range of skills through the magnificent game of rugby. Rugby not only gets young people more active and fitter, but also teaches them team-work, discipline, commitment and much more. Playing the game at the grassroots level also helps to mould tomorrow’s success stories as well as ensuring that your club is well-stocked with players in the future. [ read more... ]
