Call Connection

Ipswich Youth Rugby

The world cup of 2007 showed us all that courage, determination and unrelenting teamwork is the key to successful rugby. How close was the dream of making sporting history on the 20th October 2007? Every day across England thousands of children have the same dream that one day they will challenge the World.

In Ipswich, in union, we are also building a club that can provide the platform for the players of tomorrow. We have a winning spirit and the best youth set up in Suffolk.

In the heart of Suffolk we coach teams from under 7 to under 19 in our Youth section. We have developed players that have made county level, regional level and the Northampton Academy. Last season many of our age groups won festival rugby putting Ipswich RUFC at top of the county. This season we have planned many tours and hope to compete in international rugby festivals. Ipswich RUFC are offering you the chance to join in any age group and be part of this growing success.

If you would like to join us, all you have to do is give us a call. Just give the appropriate head coach, team co-ordinator or myself a ring (our numbers are available below), or pop along to the club one Sunday morning. Training is held from 10.00am - 12.00 midday. There you'll be able to meet the teams and their coaches, find out all you need to know, join in and quickly become part of the thriving youth section at Ipswich Rugby Club.

If you are unsure whether you are going to really like it or not, do not worry, as we offer two free taster sessions for you to give it a try and to see what you think. You can then decide whether you would like to join and become part of the team on a regular basis (most normally do!) . The Youth section will be running every Sunday until May 2008. We look forward to seeing you and wish everyone another enjoyable season.

Jon Meredith, Youth Chairman
