S1-S6 (Junior Boys Rugby)

At Highland Rugby Club, our Youth Section is all about fun, friendship and belonging. We're proud to be a family-centred club where young players of all abilities can grow in confidence, learn new skills and enjoy being part of a supportive rugby community.

Whether your child is picking up a rugby ball for the first time or has played before, they'll be welcomed with open arms. Our coaches focus on player development, teamwork and enjoyment, helping every young person progress at their own pace in a safe and positive environment.

Communication

We use the SPOND app to communicate with players and parents about training, matches and club updates.

Please:

Download SPOND to an appropriate device
Speak to your team manager or coach so they can add you to the correct group
Keep notifications turned on so you don't miss important updates

If you have any difficulty with SPOND, please email: do@highlandrugbyclub.com

We also encourage families to follow Highland Rugby Football Club on Facebook and our other social media channels to keep up with general club news and social events.

Kit & Equipment

For training, players can wear anything that's comfortable (and warm!), but they must have:

Rugby boots
A mouthguard
A water bottle
