2011/12 Season

The 2011/12 season started on 20th August at Woodend.

Micro Rugby

All welcome!

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 the Woodend pitches, 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.

Please check back and we will keep the website updated.

Regular Training

Training sessions are held at the Woodend pitches, Banchory (Opposite Tesco) from 930-1100 on Saturday.

Beginning & End of Season
Our 2011/12 season will start on Saturday 20th August and finish with the Deeside tournament in in May
