U7s

 

1. Please ensure all players are dressed appropriately for bad weather. Hats, gloves,tracksuit bottoms are essential at this time of year.
2. Please DO NOT leave any player unattended at training.

All players must be registered if you are not a member of the club you are not insured so that means you cannot play!

Training is on every Sunday morning  from 10am to 11am.  In times of heavy rain, snow and frost this may change, please check in on this web page before going to training every Sunday morning just to be sure. Please arrive BEFORE 10am so training can start on time.

For further details please contact: Damien Lynch at 086 389 4995

At this age group we have one objective at training and it is pretty simple: To have FUN!

 

 

For Parents & Guardians

To help training run easily each week we have some small jobs for all parents / guardians to take note of;

1. Gum shields – no shield – no play (Dentistry is expensive!)

2. Bring Water – Having this much fun is thirsty work!

3. Hats and gloves in cold weather please for all players.

4. DO NOT LEAVE ANY CHILDREN UNATTENDED AT TRAINING, AT ANY TIME.

5. Get involved. Positive encouragement for all the children is vital, most players want to impress their parents, so please try to impress the children. Never be negative.

NOTE: If any parent / guardian has an issue or observation regarding their child please bring notice immediately to a coach.

 

 

Homework (For players & parents) – The more you practice the better you get!

• Carry the ball in two hands at all times.
• Pass behind you.
• Stay on your feet.
• Never run backwards. Always run forward!
• Practice scoring a try by bringing the ball to your chest in one hand and support yourself with the other hand as you go to ground. You can also force the ball to ground firmly with 2 hands, if you do not feel like throwing yourself to the ground.
• Practice your catching.
• Practice your passing, but remember don’t spin the ball.
• Practice having fun!

 Coaches & Coaching

Coaching is done on a volunteer basis and the people that run all these sessions at all levels of mini and youth rugby at the club do so as a way to contribute to the community of Clontarf and the surrounding areas. All coaches are parents of players, players currently or ex-players and we all want the club to thrive into the future.

Without the following coaches, the U7s age group would not be as successful as it is, so thank you: Andrew Semple, Andrew Synott, Trevor, Shane, John H, Richard, Joe, Jan, Garret, Liam, Aidan, Phil, Gary, Ger, Tim, Fiachra, Fergus, Charles and not least Sarah Browne. Also a thank you to those coaches that have contributed to the U7s in seasons past, you know who you are.

If anyone would like to get involved in coaching please contact Damien at 086 389 4995 -  Many hands make light work!

Thanks,

Damien.
