Stafford Juniors News


Stafford Juniors first day registration boom.

The first day of the 2007 - 2008 season saw an incredible 250 junior members renew their membership and train .

The club boasts teams in every age band from under 6’s up to under 17’s .
As well as an under 15’s girls side. Junior chairman Brian Gayton said “ this is one of the best starts to the season we have had and with the schools still being on holiday we fully expect next Sunday to swell the numbers way pass the 350 mark. We welcome any child of any age down to the club to see what community rugby is all about , Sessions start at 10.30am all they have to do is come down to the club house and we will guide them to the relevant age coach. We think we offer very good value for money with membership for the whole season at just £40 per child as all coaches are RFU approved and qualified and give up their time voluntary every Sunday morning.”

The club shop with all rugby stock is also open on Sundays and parents can
grab a bacon buttie and a coffee while they watch the kids.

With The world cup around the corner the club have invested in Digital TV
and a massive 100” large screen so there is no better place to come and
watch the games.
