Pre season training returns to Littlemoor from this Tuesday, 16th Jun

Conforming to government guidelines and in line with RFU advice (the Return to Rugby Roadmap), we have our pre season plan in place. Come and join in!

Sunday, 14 June 2020By Bob Wilkinson

After what seems an interminable time since we last played, we are now preparing in earnest for the 20/21 season with both senior teams setup well to complete in their respective leagues.

Whilst the return to competitive community rugby still appears to be some time away right now, at the earliest September, the RFU advice allows us to start training from Monday 15th June in a number of groups of 6 people and all activities have been developed around this safe thinking. The playing committee (Chair Dave Watson together with Joint Head Coaches Ross Chamberlain & Luke Loveridge and assistant coaches Adam Penney & Chris Stewart) have been beavering away on the details and have a comprehemsive pre season plan that allows everyone to get back training in a safe and effective way.

This pre season training plan has been shared with all current and past players interested in coming down to pre season training, which outlines everything that the club is doing to mitigate the risks and what each individual must do to play their part in terms of staying in allocated groups and maintaining appropriate hygiene. Of course, we welcome new players at all times so whether you're new to the game or a seasoned player then you are welcome to join in the fun.

This is an exciting time for the club as a whole and C19 will not knock us off stride. Bring on 20/21.

If you need any details of training or would like to find out more generally then please contact Bob Wilkinson on 07962 099935 and you'll be put in touch with the relevant person.
