As Percy Park under 6 & 7's train together, and during the 2008/9 season had almost 50 children in their ranks, and to ensure that the children developed their rugby awareness at a suitable pace it was necessary to divide the children into squads based around age and experience.

Percy Park under 6 & 7's will hopefully operate the a similar setup for the 2009\10 season with the following teams (numbers permitting):

Pumas, Panthers, Lions, Leopards & Jaguars

The children as a whole will train together at the start and end of each session and will only be seperated into teams for the purpose of skills development and actual games - there will be plenty opportunity for the children to mix with their friends throughout each session.

If any parent has a requirement to discuss anything club \ rugby related please feel free to speak to any one of the coaches on a Sunday or alternatively you can email them via the 'contacts' tab on our website.
