Wear any kit you want to (within reason). Please leave any valuables (watches etc) at home, as it is impossible to guarantee their safe keeping. Remember to bring plenty of warm clothes and a drink for during the session. Showers are available at the clubhouse after training.
Please make sure that the boys have: A Lymm Shirt Black Shorts Black Socks Some pocket money to buy extra food and drinks. The boys will normally be provided with something to eat after the match by the hosts.
We run a club shop stocking all kit items and other equipment such as gum shields, scrum caps, balls and other goodies. The shop will normally be open after training sessions and home games and is situated in the Lymm RFC clubhouse and is normally open between 12.30 – 1.30pm on Sundays. For information or orders email dalycatriona@aol.com.
For training and matches it is important that your child has the following items:
- A correctly fitting gum shield. If in doubt speak to your dentist
- Rugby boots fitted with approved metal (aluminium) studs
- Nylon or plastic studs are illegal and a referee can remove a player from the game if they are used
- Consider the use of head protection, to guard against concussion injury
- Shin guards are a sensible precaution for front row forwards
Please remember to advise your coach of any medical condition that could affect their fitness or recovery from injury. If your child is asthmatic please remember their medication. Please let us know if your child is recovering from illness such as flu or measles, which could affect their fitness.
Fees and Membership
The subscriptions are as follows:
- Under 7 - 16: £60 for the first child (including adult social membership of the club)
- £20 for the second and subsequent children
This represents excellent value and remember that there are no match fees. Compared to other M&J's in Cheshire Lymm is one of the cheapest clubs of which to be a member. Early registration is recommended, because then the players are insured against injury.
All registered players are covered by basic RFC cover. If you want to improve this cover further insurance should be obtained privately.
All help is welcome. An outside observer would be hard pressed to decide for whom the training sessions are run - the parents or boys. It's a lot of fun and can even help as part of a calorie controlled diet.
We have recently been awarded the Sport England/R.F.U. Seal of approval recognising that the club is safe, effective and child friendly.
