This season we continue on full size pitches 15 a side - so general fitness will still be very important

The coaching staff give up their Sunday mornings so that you may develop your rugby skills and enjoy both training & matches.  In return we have the following expectations of players and their parents / guardians:

• Please ensure that you arrive promptly for all training sessions and matches. Unless advised otherwise please be there at 10:30am ready to go.  Matches will usually start at 11:00am - an earlier kick-off may be necessary for three-way fixtures, in those circumstances you'll be told beforehand - latest fixture information will be posted to the website homepage (with a note to show when it was last updated);
  
• If you are unable to make a session please advise the coaches in advance - this applies to both matches and training - it's far easier for the coaches to make every session as useful and enjoyable as possible if they know beforehand how many players they'll be working with. So if you know, for example, that you're away at Easter 2010 tell the coach now and let him remember !! For last minute drop-out (e.g. due to sickness) a call or text to a mobile number would be preferable;
  
• Please read the information on the Players and Parents pages. These provide reminders on such things as appropriate clothing, remembering drinks, etc.
  
• For matches players will be provided with Newport shirts. They must provide their own shorts and socks. If they are on the "bench" or subbed during a match please ensure they have suitable clothing to keep warm (e.g. track suit, hat, etc.).
  
• Most communication with players and parents / guardians outside of training sessions will be via this web site or via e-mail - please ensure that the coaches have your latest contact details -  e-mail, mobile and home phone numbers;
  
• Please ensure that your registration form has been completed - if you're not registered you're not insured and will not be able to play
  
• If you have any concerns, worries or queries please do not hesitate to speak to one of the coaches on a Sunday morning.  Alternatively you can use the contact form below:
