New Players: Key Information
New players are always very welcome, and our coaches will help you develop your skills in a fun and friendly environment. No previous rugby experience is needed!
We are an RFU accredited club which means we provide the highest level of coaching.
We were part of the RFUs "Kids First" rugby pilot 10 years ago, and are a keen advocate of an inclusive rugby approach.
While we are keen that everyone participates and gets the best chance to learn, it doesn't mean we aren't able to play good rugby. Over recent years we have had youth teams win league and cup competitions, and we have also had players go on to play premiership rugby and play for England - players such as Gabriel Oghre (Bristol Bears) and Gabe Hamer-Webb (Cardiff Blues).
In our 2 senior teams, each week 50-70% of the players have come up through Walcot's youth section. In one game last season 17 of the 18 man squad in our 1st XV were former Walcot youth players.
