Welcome !

We are always keen to welcome new players of all ages to get involved with the club.

The season is a mixture of structured training, fixtures and tournaments against clubs and teams in Gloucestershire and surrounding counties. All our coaches are qualified and CRB cleared and benefit from the input of our 2 level 4 RFU qualified coaches. All age groups also have first aid cover.

Ages - the mini and juniors cover ages from under 7 up to under 17. Players then move on to our Colts set up.

Training - from 10am until noon on a Sunday throughout the season from September until May. Under 11 and older groups also include a mid-week training session - check with age group managers for details.

Our home ground - in 2007 CRFC purchased Newlands Park, Bishops Cleeve to provide us with a dedicated mini and junior rugby venue. We also play away fixtures throughout the county and beyond
