Mini and Youth (BATS) Rugby |
Edinburgh Accies Mini Section - P1-P6:
Are you interested in rugby? At school in P1 - P6? Well why not get involved in mini-rugby?
Edinburgh Accies mini-rugby meets from the end of August through to April, on Sundays at Raeburn
Place, between 10.30am and 1.00pm. We welcome boys and girls to come along and join in this fun,
exhilarating, team sport.
P1 and P2 are taken through at a gentle pace, introducing them to
ball handling and team games. P3 develop further knowledge of the
game and have the opportunity to play against other mini-rugby teams.
P4 to P6 continue to widen their skills and compete in regular tournaments. View or download

|
RUGBY FOR ALL - in the north Edinburgh community |
For young people aged 11 to 19 the club also provides a youth
section through Edinburgh BATs Rugby, which uses Edinburgh Accies, Broughton and
Trinity Accies clubs as their base depending on the age group.
As well as the three rugby clubs BATs are very pleased to have partnerships with Telford College, Active Schools and the SRU. Working with BATs Development Officer, Iain Berthinussen, and the four Community Coach Students the partners compliment and help deliver BATs plans in the north Edinburgh community at four high schools, 19 primary schools and the seven BATs teams.
BATs will run one or more teams at each age group P7, S1, S2, U15, U16, and U18 plus teams to cater for females where needed. Throughout the season a senior BATs development team will play in the East Regional League Division 2.
BATs has over 100 players attending coaching/training sessions and playing regular competitive games for the BATs teams - as friendlies or in the youth leagues. The BATs P7, S1 and S2 train and play at 1.00pm on Sundays at their base of Broughton's ground Wardie. The U15s and U16s train on Wednesday evenings at 6.30 and play their games on Sundays - they are based at Raeburn Place. Finally the U18s train on Monday evenings at 4.00 at Trinity's ground, Bangholm and Wednesday evenings at 6.30 at Raeburn Place and play their games on Saturdays. The club kit is black shirts, shorts and socks with a striking BATs logo on the shirt.
