Avonvale Minis & Juniors
Avonvale RFC is extremely proud to boast a thriving mini and junior rugby section,
with over 140 Boys & Girls being coached and playing rugby from Under 6 right through
the age groups.
Humble beginnings with just a few children has developed substantially and
Avonvale Rugby Club have become the club for mini and junior rugby in the catchment
area picking up children from:
Bathford, Bathampton, Batheaston, Monkton Farleigh and Box
among many of the other surrounding villages.
We feel a tremendous excitement at the club that this resurgence in child numbers can
give us a genuine opportunity to enhance and develop our village club, encourage and nurture the youngsters to develop a love of Rugby and it's values, and create a legacy
to benefit our villagers and village clubs for generations to come.
If your child is at the right age for one of our groups then we'd love to hear from you
so you can bring them along for a taster session.
Age groups are set by school years and therefore your child will be in the age group for his age
at midnight on the 31 Aug for the coming season i.e. a child that turns 8 years old on the 1st of
September (or after) plays as an under 8 for that season.
The under 6s include the under 5s’.
