Teamwork - Respect - Enjoyment - Discipline - Sportsmanship
On behalf of Clee Hill Rugby Football Club we would like to welcome you to our Mini section, and provide you with some information about our club and our activities.
Clee Hill Minis’ Rugby section for boys and girls aged 4 - 10. Each age group is managed by RFU qualified coaches. Several of the coaches are current players with our senior teams. We pride ourselves on creating an environment where the needs of the players are put first and every player can develop to the very best of their ability. We strive to provide a growing community-based and financially sound rugby club, offering first class sports, leisure and social facilities to the communities of Clee Hill and surrounding areas.
We want every player and parent to have fun and enjoy their time at the club, whilst supporting each other through the core values of rugby union:
Teamwork Respect Enjoyment Discipline Sportsmanship
Purpose of the mini section:
- Create positive memories

Success for the mini section is:

What to bring?
Clee Hill has it's own weather system - if it's warm and sunny in Ludlow, the chances are it'll be blowing a gail and snow on the hill!
- So with that in mind we recommend lots of layers and waterproofs that you don't mind getting muddy!
- Rugby/Football boots if you have them or trainers.
- U9's will need a gum sheild for contact training.
- If your child has asthma, an inhaer must be brought to every session.
- A named water bottle
- A named bottle of hand sanitiser
Muddy kit and boots are not allowed in the club house - so it would be a good idea to bring a change of clothes (this will help keep your car clean too!)
