Welcome to HRUFC U11’s
It is our aim at Huddersfield RUFC Under 11’s that all boys and girls – whatever their age, social, religious or ethnic background – come to rugby sessions to enjoy themselves and develop their individual, unit and team skills. We do this through progressive, purposeful, enjoyable and safe activities, with the objectives of learning, understanding and playing the game of Rugby Football so they achieve their full potential.
Our philosophy is to teach and develop each boy’s or girl’s basic skills by:
- Introducing the game in a safe and friendly environment
- Developing the skills of the children, young people progressively according to their ability, using appropriate coaching methods.
- Introducing the Laws of the Game.
- Encourage a good standard of behaviour on and off the field
- Encouraging fair play and good sportsmanship.
- Avoiding overplaying of players by using a squad system.
- Ensuring development comes first, winning second.
- Ensuring all equipment and facilities are safe and appropriate.
- Never coaching law violations.
- Never overtly criticising players – their confidence is paramount
Our philosophy is driven by a desire for all our young players to reach their full potential through player-centred, game-based coaching with enjoyment the key priority, whilst fully embracing all of the RFU core values.
We offer a coaching team consisting of an RFU qualified head coach, team manager, 3 RFU qualified coaches, including specialists in attack and defence, as well as a friendly, safe and inclusive environment to learn.
We would love you to join us on this journey and are open to participation every Sunday morning. Come and give it a try!

Registration and Membership
RFU Regulation 15 requires players to be registered annually online each season from U7’s upwards. HRUFC’s policy is to register all players, including U6’s even though there is no requirement to formally register.
We do this on a weekend at the start of the new season. This enables everyone to renew friendships, meet and talk with their team coaches and ask any questions they may have.
1 . Register your child on the RFU Game Management System (GMS). You will either need to login to your existing RFU account if you are renewing or register a new account if you are registering for the first time. You will need to register your child as a player to Huddersfield RUFC. There is a link here to explain how to do this.

Kit
As with any sport players need specific kit. We ask that ask of our Age Grade players have rugby boots, socks, shorts, shirt, mouth guard and water bottle
Players are expected to wear full club kit for fixture with other clubs. Club kit does not have to be worn for training, other kit can be worn.
All official club kit can be bought from our suppliers O’Neill’s via this link.
Please be aware that it can get very cold in winter. Players should wear plenty of layers to ensure that they can remain warm during sessions.
Wearing layers also means that players can discard items as they warm up and put them on again as they cool down. Please note that, as a safety measure, training tops should be without zips.
MAKE SURE THAT EVERY PIECE OF YOUR CHILD’S KIT IS LABELLED WITH THEIR NAME.
For our advice and recommendations about items of kit please follow the links:
NO PLAYER WILL BE ADMITTED INTO THE CLUBHOUSE IN RUGBY BOOTS OR SOILED RUGBY CLOTHING
PLEASE NOTE: HRUFC warmly welcomes all visitors to our facilities. In order to keep the club house clean can we remind our visitors that players MUST bring a change of clothes in order to access the bar and food areas. Players in dirty match gear will be refused access to the bar and catering facilities.

You must return your dog to your car if asked to do so. If you do not comply then you will be reported to the Management Committee who may impose further sanctions.
