Meet our new Head of Micros - Neil! 🏉

We are delighted to announce that Neil has stepped up to take on the Head Coach role for our Micros section this season. You’ll see him taking the lead every Saturday morning, keeping the energy high for our youngest players.

A huge welcome and a massive thank you to Neil for taking on the role!✨🙏

🔴⚪⚫

With so many enthusiastic new players joining us, we're looking for a few more volunteers to help coach our P1s. No rugby experience needed - just plenty of enthusiasm!

We'll guide you through the PVG check process and provide all the training and support you need to feel confident on the pitch.

If you fancy giving it a go (or just want to find out what's involved), send us a message today or have a quick chat with Neil on Saturday morning! ☕️

Fantastic first morning back at Bridgehaugh! 🔴⚪⚫️

Great to see the pitches packed with so many smiling faces running around in the sunshine getting right into their rugby skills.

A huge, warm welcome to all the new families who joined the County family for the first time yesterday and a massive thank you to our friends at Skinner of Kippen for keeping us fuelled on the sidelines. Those bacon rolls were amazing! 🥓☕️✨

Hope everyone enjoyed their first session. See you all next Saturday! 🙌

🏉 The Minis Roadmap: P6 & P7 - The Game Grows!

As our players reach Primary 6 and Primary 7, they enter the final, most exciting stages of the County Minis section. This is where all those fundamental skills come together, and the game really starts to expand!

Under Scottish Rugby guidance, our P6 and P7 squads focus on:

🔴 A Bigger Stage: The pitch gets wider and longer, and the number of players on a side increases. This gives the kids a true match-day feel and rewards smart tactical play.

⚪ Introducing Rucks & Scrums: We safely introduce contesting for the ball at the ruck, along with uncontested scrums. It’s all about teaching the physical technique properly and safely to prepare them for youth rugby.

⚫️ Fast-Paced Strategy: With more players and more space, the focus shifts to quick decision-making, support play and moving the ball with speed and purpose!

🚌 Of course, being in P6 and P7 means these squads are the senior leaders on our legendary annual Minis Tour! Spending a weekend away at an outdoor activity centre, tackling team challenges, and playing in a Sunday festival builds bonds that last a lifetime. By the time our P7s graduate at the end of the year, they are a tight-knit family ready to take on high school and S1 rugby together.

It is NEVER too late to start! 🫵❤️

While many of our players have been together since Micros, we love welcoming brand-new players to the P6 and P7 squads!

✅ No prior rugby experience is needed.
✅ Our coaches are experts at onboarding beginners safely and at their own pace.
✅ A fantastic, supportive environment to learn a new sport and make a great new group of friends before heading to high school.

📅 The new season kicks off August 22nd. If your child is heading into P6 or P7 this coming school year and wants to give rugby a try, send us a message today to arrange a free trial! 📥
