Welcome to the Battersea Ironsides U6s. The new season will start on 10/09/17 at 10:00 at the clubhouse off Burntwood Lane. We hope to be unveiling a few new club features to make signing up to BIRFC much simpler. We hope to have an online registrations process for existing members and a shoe "token" system to help with weekly registration. Once the children have signed up for the season they will be given a green shoe token labelled "Ironsides RFC 2017/2018".This will replace the tick sheet sign in for U6 which we used last year.

The U6s is for girls and boys in Reception and Year 1, along with a few of the older Nursery children.

Training runs from 10:00 to 12:00 every Sunday at the clubhouse off Burntwood Lane. 

Each week children have an enormous amount of fun playing a variety of games that teach them about moving around the field and the basics of ball handing. Once fully warmed up we usually then spend the second half of the session playing games of tag rugby in small groups. 

Our main aim at this stage is to ensure the children enjoy themselves, but thanks to our incredible coaching team they also learn the basics of rugby very quickly - it doesn't take long for them to work out which try line they are supposed to be running for!

 

We welcome new joiners throughout the season and currently have no waiting list.

If you want to give it a try, then just come down to the clubhouse on a Sunday at 10:00. Register at the sign-in desk, then for £5 the children can do a trial session before deciding whether they would like to join up for the rest of the season (which runs from September to May). ​Parents should be aware that for the coming season we will be operating a STRICT 2 WEEK TRIAL PROCESS AND SO WE WILL ALLOW YOUR CHILD TO TAKE TWO TRIALS AT £5, AFTER WHICH IF YOU WISH TO KEEP COMING, YOU WILL NEED TO SIGN UP AS FULL MEMBERS. THE COST OF MEMBERSHIP FOR THE COMING SEASON IS £130 FOR THE FIRST CHILD, £85 FOR A SIBLING.
 Do get in contact with the Managers or Coaches if you have any questions - see the contacts section for details.
