BHRFC | Youth Chair Welcome
A message from our
Youth Chair
I
am very proud to welcome you to Burgess Hill
RFC and our thriving junior section.
We have approx. 200 children from Tikes &
Tacklers (our pre-school programme) to U15’s
playing here at Burgess Hill. This season we
also have our 昀椀rst standalone
girls team
representing our club.
I have been in my role for approx. 4 years,
having taken over during Covid. No one knew
what rugby would look like once we were allowed
to return but our junior section has gone from
strength to strength. I absolutely love being part
of our young players path through the club and seeing so many smiley
faces come rain or shine.
We are a very welcoming, family-oriented club and developing the
children’s skills on and off the pitch is at the forefront of our aim. All our
age groups are run by our wonderful volunteer coaches, who are DBS
checked and have completed the latest Head Case and Safeguarding
courses. All our coaches have access to a range of courses throughout
every season to keep them up to date with all the latest developments
in the game.
Rugby is a game for everyone and we always welcome new and
returning players. Our training sessions and games are predominantly
on Sunday’ from 9am with some older age groups training midweek on
varying days.
f you would like your child to get involved in rugby, please 昀椀ll out a taster
form via the link below - we offer 2 free taster sessions to all and a very
competitive membership after that, which includes a free playing shirt.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me via email at
youth@bhrfc.co.uk
