Mini rugby

Submitted by website on Sat, 23/09/2006 - 23:59.

It's not the winning but the spirit of fair-play, enjoyment and safety that is paramount.

This aim forms the basis upon which mini rugby is structured in Hong Kong and, indeed, in many countries. A competitive spirit is inevitable in any sport, but with children this should not be allowed to dominate or to detract from the joy of simply playing this game.

Currently there are more than a dozen clubs in Hong Kong offering mini rugby to almost three thousand children! It is arguably the best organised sport for children in Hong Kong featuring multi-club festivals and involvement in the international Hong Kong Rugby Sevens.

The Hong Kong Mini Rugby Union oversees the game for players under 12 and arranges for all players to be insured. All clubs are represented and through this body maintain links with the HKRFU, which provides financial and training support. The last five years has seen a dramatic move from a sport previously dominated by expatriates to one in which all sectors of the community are involved especially the Chinese population.

The rules of mini rugby attempt to maximise the opportunities of each player to become involved in the game, develop skills commensurate with their age, and maintain safety. Details of the basic rules can be found in the either the indiviual team sections or for the various age groups in the Referee section. It is very important that everyone (coaches, players, parents and referees) has read and understood the code of conduct

Training this Sunday

Submitted by Brenton Judge on Fri, 03/02/2012 - 14:33.

This Sunday will be the ;ast training session before the Valley Fort festival, please make an effort to be there.  8:30am kickoff on all pitches.

Special pitches for this weekend

This weekend we have SKS U10s and U9/10Gs visiting us.  To give these age groups more space to play, they will be down on pitch 3 where the U6s/U7s normally are.  U6 and U7s will be on pitch 1 (in front of the club house).

7s showcase

If your son/daughter would like to take part in the 7s showcase, you must let your coach know by this weekend at the latest.  We have no more children's tickets available however some parents may be willing to swap so if you don't have a ticket yet, but would like your child to play, let your coach know as well and tell them that you don't have a ticket.

See you on Sunday.

Training - January 29th, 2012

Kung Hei Fat Choi!

Trust that you all had a great Chinese New Year and that the kids have had enough candy from the various relatives and friends that they need a couple of hard training sessions to slow them down before school.  Training this Sunday from 8:30am for all age groups.

7s Showcase

Please let your head coach know if your child has a ticket and would like to take part in the 7s showcase this year.  Each child will only get one game but its quite a thrill for the kids to play in Hong Kong stadium (and hopefully a taste of their future).  If you don't have tickets for your child, we will try to organise it for you but can't guarantee it.  Sunday is the march past which you'll need a ticket for Sunday as well (Sunday's are almost impossible, if you didn't buy them when they were on offer).

Happy Chinese New Year in advance. 

There will be no training this Sunday, the next training will be at King's Park on 29th January.  The teams made real progress at the TP festival and so we are looking forward to finishing the season on a high note.  With that in mind, it is important that your child attends every training session, please make an effort.

7s showcase

People wanting to take part in the 7s showcase, please let your head coaches know (not me) ASAP.  As with previous years, each child will only get a single game and you must have a ticket for your child to get in to the stadium.  There are usually some tickets available for individual days, but I have no children's tickets left for all three days. U6s will not be allowed in the showcase again this year.

The march past (on Sunday) is again open to all age groups but you will need a ticket for the Sunday to participate.

See you in the year of the dragon.

Tai Po Festival

Submitted by Brenton Judge on Fri, 13/01/2012 - 20:44.

No training this weekend, TP festival is at Kings Park (Happy Valley for U12 and U11/12G).

Festival program has just been put on the website (just received), too large to send out, find it here

Festival arrival

Make sure to arrive at least half an hour before the games are due to start (or as instructed by your coach), it helps them in getting things organised and making it a more fun day for everyone.

Coaches and referees

A couple of teams are having a lot of difficulty getting enough people to help out, please step forward.  Rugby experience is not essential and the club is willing to pay for training courses for anyone who is willing to go the courses.  The club is 100% run by volunteers, if we don't have volunteers everything stops.  Please lend a hand.  Enquiries to Peter welshwhites@gmail.com, courses are run very frequently.
