Youth
Tunbridge Wells RFC has a thriving youth section, with 750+ youth and ladies players enjoying age grade rugby on a regular basis.
The 2022/23 season will begin on Sunday September 4th.
We are always happy to welcome new players of any ability. To find out more (and get contact details) visit the team page for the appropriate age grade. New members are invited to come and try rugby for a couple of weeks before being asked to sign-up as members.
“Rugby is a fantastic sport for children, bringing many physical and social benefits, including increased confidence, self-esteem and self-discipline, and enjoyable physical exercise as part of a team. Teachers constantly comment on off-pitch behaviour improvements when rugby is introduced in school.”
