Under 7s girls/boys (school year 2
Under 8s girls/boys (school year 3)

Under 10s girls/boys (school year 5)
Under 11s girls/boys (school year 6)

Under 14s/13s boys (school years 9 & 8)
Under 16s boys (school year 11)

Got a child that's interested?
You can bring your child along for a couple of weeks without charge. If they then want to join membership is £100 membership for the whole season.
Contact us to arrange a time to come down, or just turn up for training and introduce yourself to a Coach.

Don't see the right age band for your child?
There are a few options if your child is in the junior-age band but doesn't have a team:

  1. Play up an age band - if your child is comfortable playing with the age band above. Quite a few players do this.
  2. Play down an age band - if your child is smaller than average, this might be possible.
  3. Join another club

Getting serious
We are part of the Sale Sharks Academy Pathway which takes players from the U15 age band upwards. We nominate players for a trial, which can lead to players playing professionally for Sale Sharks. Last year, we have 7 players that are part of this programme.

If you'd like to find out more email Mike Hope, Mini & Junior Chair.
