Welcome to HRUFC U16’s
In the under 16’s we play junior rugby with the aim of ensuring an enjoyable and safe environment for the boys to develop their rugby, personal and social skills by being part of a close group and team.
Enjoyment, having fun and improvement are at the centre of what we want for the boys, all focused around the RFU core values of teamwork, respect, enjoyment, discipline and sportsmanship.
The boys form new friendships (as do the parents) through training, matches and the occasional mini “tour” forming the close bonds any strong team thrives on.
While many boys have been with the team throughout the mini section we are always recruiting for new team members and regularly have new starters at all levels of ability. We’re a fully inclusive team and would be really happy to welcome your son to the team (if they just want to try it out for a week or two without commitment that’s fine too).
Training and or matches take place on Sunday’s usually from 11.30am. We also run training on a Wednesday evening from 6.30pm to 7.30pm on most (but not all) weeks.
Training times
Wednesday – 6.30pm – 7.30pm
Sunday – 11.30am – 12.30pm
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.

Codes of Conduct
We ask all parents and guardians to refresh their awareness of our Codes of Conduct. They are there to encourage you and your children enjoy the great sport of rugby in a safe and healthy manner.

Kit
As with any sport players need specific kit. We ask that ask that all 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.
Can we also remind our visitors that DOGS ARE NOT ALLOWED on any of our pitches. This represents a health risk to all players and Age Grade in particular.
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.
We hope that you agree these two requests will make your visit to our club more comfortable and enjoyable.
A COVID-19 policy applies to anyone visiting and using the changing, bar and offices at Lockwood Park. Please familiarise yourself with that policy and observe its provisions.
