The Youth Section runs teams from U7s to U16s, and from season 2008/9 will also administer the Clots (U18's).

The Youth Section committee meets at least once a month and finances itself from membership fees, grants and sponsorship. The Youth Section also benefits from a share of the Chiefs "Match Day Draw" which it runs for the Club at Chiefs home fixtures. The senior Club supports Youth Rugby with use of the Club’s wonderful facilities and amenities.

 

All teams have a manager and at least one coach and are continually striving towards RFU qualifications for all its coaches. All are offered regular first aid training. The youth section regularly invests in new equipment, which benefits all sections of Exeter Rugby Club.

 

Most teams play or train on Sunday mornings between 10am and 1pm and  train on Wednesday or Thursday evenings on the Club's all weather, floodlit pitch.
Matches are played on both the all-weather pitch and the mini and second team grass pitches at Sandy Park. Some 15-a-side games are also played at Withycombe (Exmouth) Rugby Club to enable us to fulfil all of our fixtures.
The Colts normally play on Saturdays - see the fixture lists on this web site for times.

 

Players are provided with Chiefs shirts on match days and are provided with food after each fixture in the County Suite at Sandy Park or at the Withycombe Clubhouse when the fixture is held there. 

 

You will regularly see players from the section on first team match days, either playing "curtain raiser" games or carrying out the duties of ball boys. The club is very keen to promote a close family atmosphere and offer rugby to all children, whatever their ability.

 

Minimum age is six years old (as at 1st Sept.)
