U11s Information
Sunday 23rd Feb 2020
We have a change of plan for home training this Sunday (23rd Feb). We will now be playing on the ATA pitches next to Batrix Potter school, the address is Openview, Earlsfield SW18 3PD. And we will be playing from 11am - 12:15pm.
The reason for the move is because Wandsworth Common is still unplayable.
- All children will need to wear mouth guards and rugby boots for every training session & festival.
- No dogs are allowed on our training pitch at Wandsworth Common
- Please note that Ironsides Rugby is NOT a drop off training session, all children must have an adult with them for the duration of the session and the children must be aware of who that adult is.
Tour Playing Dates – Saturday & Sunday 17-19th April 2020 can be extended to Monday 20th to stay in the resort if required for an extended break.
