Our Under 9s team welcomes boys and girls in School Year 4 to enjoy rugby in a fun, safe and inclusive environment. Whether your child is completely new to the game or already has experience, they'll be made to feel welcome from day one.

At Weybridge Vandals, we follow our TREDS values in everything we do:

Teamwork – supporting and encouraging one another.
Respect – for teammates, coaches, opponents, referees and the game.
Enjoyment – having fun and developing a lifelong love of rugby.
Discipline – learning good habits, sportsmanship and resilience.
Sportsmanship – playing with honesty, fairness and kindness.

Our focus is on helping every child build confidence, develop rugby skills, make new friends and enjoy being part of a team. We believe rugby is for everyone, and every player is encouraged to progress at their own pace.

New players are welcome to join us at any point during the season.

The season runs from September through to the end of April, with training taking place on Sundays from 9:30am to 10:15am. Throughout the season we also visit other clubs for joint training sessions and take part in a number of friendly rugby festivals, giving players the chance to experience rugby in different environments.

Our coaching team combines playing experience, RFU coaching qualifications and, most importantly, a passion for helping children learn, improve and enjoy the game.

Players will need a gumshield (mouthguard) for all training sessions and matches as the under 9s age group sees the introduction of tackling (contact rugby).

If you'd like to find out more or arrange for your child to come along for a taster session, please email the Under 9s Team Admin at u9@weybridgevandals.co.uk. We'd be delighted to answer any questions and look forward to welcoming your family to Weybridge Vandals.
