Micros

Check this page if you think training might be cancelled, for example due to bad weather.

Last updated 19/8/2010  SEE YOU ON SATURDAY!!! 

Micro Rugby at Deeside RFC includes players, both boys and girls, in Primary 1 through to Primary 3. Micro Rugby is all about fun, lots of running and catching whilst most of the time holding and throwing a rugby ball.

Micro Rugby is non-contact. We use tags attached to belts by Velcro for any games. Removing a tag is like tackling.

We use size 3 balls, which are specifically made for children under the age of 8.

Training Sessions
Training sessions are generally held at Tillybrake Playing Fields, Tillybrake Road, Banchory on Saturday mornings starting at 9:30am and finishing at 10:45am.  If the weather is good we sometimes run over as the kids (and coaches!) are having so much fun and like wise if the weather is poor we may finish early.

Next season will start again first weekend after the schools go back, initially at Tillybrake, as the  new pitches at Woodend are not adequately established yet.  The Milton will be kept as a fallback in case of issues at Tillybrake.

Please check back and we will keep the website updated.

Regular Training

Training sessions are held at the Tillybrake Playing Fields, Tillybrake Road, Banchory from 930-1100 on Saturday.
