http://www.deatigersrfc.com/en/minis/u8 Coach: James Byatt en http://www.deatigersrfc.com/en/node/18734 <P>This week sees the next festival at Kings Park organised by Valley Fort Mini Rugby Club where we will be looking to build on the great performances from the last festival as we move towards the end of the season.</p> <P>The U8's are playing in the morning as usual and again each team's 3 games are condensed into a relatively short period of time which I hope everyone finds convenient.</p> <P>The festival programme, playing schedule and team selections are attached to this message. Please make sure you know which team your child is in and <STRONG>turn up at least 30 minutes before the start of your first game </strong>at your allocated pitch so that the coaches can get the kids ready and warmed up.</p> <P>Please make every effort to turn up on time. We have the bare minimum in terms of players per team, so don't have too much flexibility to cover latecomers or no-shows. Please consider the other team mates who will have a worse experience if their team is short of players. Remember there will be <STRONG>NO PARKING </strong>at Kings Park on Sunday and it is often very congested around the ground especially in the mornings as everyone arrives around the same time, so please allow plenty of time to get there.</p> <P>Please make sure they are appropriately dressed for the conditions. Layers are best as at this time of year.</p><div class="og_rss_groups"><ul class="links"><li class="first last og_links"><a href="/en/minis/u8" class="og_links">U8</a></li> </ul></div><p><a href="http://www.deatigersrfc.com/en/node/18734">read more</a></p> U8 Wed, 08 Feb 2012 18:45:17 -0600 James Byatt 18734 at http://www.deatigersrfc.com http://www.deatigersrfc.com/en/node/18731 <P>Please see the below registration lists. I have a revised <STRONG>deadline of Wednesday 8th February </strong>to register the correct number of teams for both the HKFC festival on SUNDAY 11th March and the Sevens Showcase on FRIDAY 23rd March 2012.</p> <P>If your child is not registered and wants to play, then please let me know by Wednesay 8th February, otherwise there is a risk that there will not be space available for them in the teams.</p><div class="og_rss_groups"><ul class="links"><li class="first last og_links"><a href="/en/minis/u8" class="og_links">U8</a></li> </ul></div><p><a href="http://www.deatigersrfc.com/en/node/18731">read more</a></p> U8 Mon, 06 Feb 2012 01:27:31 -0600 James Byatt 18731 at http://www.deatigersrfc.com http://www.deatigersrfc.com/en/node/18719 <P>Sorry to keep bothering everyone about festival registrations, but we are being asked to confirm all the remaining festivals very soon. Please let me know ASAP if you want to register you child for any of the below festivals where you haven't yet. I understand the low numbers for the Sevens showcase due to needing to have tickets, but it appears we don't have as many as normal for the HKFC festival on 11th March. As this is not at Kings Park I will not assume people want to play unless you tell me. I will only enter enough teams to cover those registered, so please let me know to avoid disappointment.</p> <P>I still have a few places left for the Valley Fort festival later this month as we are quite tight for numbers for the teams I have put in.</p><div class="og_rss_groups"><ul class="links"><li class="first last og_links"><a href="/en/minis/u8" class="og_links">U8</a></li> </ul></div><p><a href="http://www.deatigersrfc.com/en/node/18719">read more</a></p> U8 Tue, 31 Jan 2012 17:32:55 -0600 James Byatt 18719 at http://www.deatigersrfc.com http://www.deatigersrfc.com/en/node/18712 <P>Kung Hey Fat Choy to you all!</p> <P>I trust everyone enjoyed their Chinese New Year Break and are looking forward to rugby again this weekend.</p> <P><STRONG>Training</strong></p> <P>Training continues this Sunday 29th Jan at King's Park from the usual time of <STRONG>8.30am sharp</strong>. I will be on business in the UK for the next 2 weekends, so training this week will be taken by Simon again.</p> <P>There will be a few changes to the teams from this week onwards. As previously advised, we are separating the girls into a group of their own. They will still train the same as the boys in preparation for next year, but start to play together as girls in the remaining tournaments and hopefully they will be more comfortable with this arrangement as we start to introduce elements of contact towards the end of the season. As a result, we have consolidated the boys into 4 teams. Most have stayed in the same teams. Players from the old "Cheetahs" team have been shared out equally amongst the remaining 4 teams. Please see the attached new team listings for your child's team going forward. Don't worry if your child's name is listed under "Floaters". This just means that they have not been attending quite so often as the others and so will be allocated a team depending on numbers on the day.</p><div class="og_rss_groups"><ul class="links"><li class="first last og_links"><a href="/en/minis/u8" class="og_links">U8</a></li> </ul></div><p><a href="http://www.deatigersrfc.com/en/node/18712">read more</a></p> U8 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 23:55:04 -0600 James Byatt 18712 at http://www.deatigersrfc.com http://www.deatigersrfc.com/en/node/18710 <P>***LAST CHANCE TO REGISTER FOR VALLEY FORT FESTIVAL***</p> <P>Today is the last opportunity to register for the above Festival on 12th February 2012 at King's Park.</p> <P>The following 29 players have been registered which will allow us only to field 3 teams instead of the normal 5, so if you want your child to play, please tell me so I can register enough teams.</p><div class="og_rss_groups"><ul class="links"><li class="first last og_links"><a href="/en/minis/u8" class="og_links">U8</a></li> </ul></div><p><a href="http://www.deatigersrfc.com/en/node/18710">read more</a></p> U8 Wed, 18 Jan 2012 22:16:56 -0600 James Byatt 18710 at http://www.deatigersrfc.com
