2010 - 11 Season - The Under 7's
This season's new under 7's squad start playing a full season of competitive mini rugby. Last season they were learning the game in the micros squad and joining in with the under 7's to get some competitive match experience ready for this coming season. As this seasons under 6's reach their 6th birthday they may play competitive rugby and join in with this squad.
With a squad of 14 players we hope to field 2 sides most weeks. This allows everyone in the squad to play competitive games. The squad inreases in numbers as the season progresses with the 6 year old Micros coming up to join in te group for the season.
Any new players under 7 who would like to play mini rugby are very welcome to come down to Copley on Sunday mornings during the season when they are training or have home games. Please look at the fixtures list to check the minis are at home. With 2 teams everyone gets a game

The under 6's (The micros) had a very successful and enjoyable season. With new players arriving at the club throughout the year the squad has grown to a very healthy 20 players.
The under 6 section, known as the micros allows children aged 4 and 5 to start learning how to play tag rugby. They do not play competitive games until they reach their sixth birthday then they can join in with the under 7's squad and play competitive games. They train on Sunday mornings and occasionally travel with the under 7's to train with the opposition.
This season Neal Lumb, Darren Grogan, Guy Laurie and Warren Doyle coached the squad. with four coaches we were able to split the squad into 2 groups, the under 5's and under 6. As the players reach their sixth birthday they have joined in with the under 7's squad to play competitive games. All those players have performed well with several picking up man of the match awards. The highlight being able to take part in the Harrogate Festivals as part of the squad and winning the Festival under 7 trophy. Taking this into consideration the players did themselves and the club proud.
The micros have trained every week and during the season we invited Huddersfield YMCA micros to come down and join in a training session and play tag rugby. The session worked well and we returned the compliment by travelling to YM for a session. We plan to find another suitable club to join in next season. The basis of next seasons under 7 squad is now in place with 2 parents willing to coach the squad. We will look for another 2 parents to help the coaches as we feel this squad needs 4 coaches to develop the players.
Under 6's Squad Jack Lumb, Edward Grogan, Thomas Doyle, William Adams, William Boom, Jack Brooke, Ben Collins, William Davidson, Owen Davis, Taylor Dodd, Joshua Dodd, Ben Hygate, Sophie Hygate, Bobbie White, Isobelle Shaw, Toby Laurie, Oliver Walton, Daniel Bentham, Harry Bentham, Oscar Rowe, Isaac Burbidge, Femi Crowther, Ben Gianotti
