ECCLES JUNIORS 2021/22 can’t come soon enough for our mighty Mini & Junior Section. Festivals, trips, tours and more could make it our most exciting season to date! Our huge network of volunteers welcome all children and families interested in joining the best rugby family Salford has to offer. Dressed to Impress - This September, all Eccles Mini and Junior members will receive a brand new Eccles playing kit. Our club ethos of ‘Rugby for All’ has ensured that our entire junior family will wear the same shirt, shorts, socks and beam with pride. No zoom and gloom - Straight off the back of our lockdown success in the Ecclesathalon, our Junior teams enjoyed weekly online training sessions, competitions, challenges and even fancy dress! Following this, a short and sweet 2020/21 playing season was signed off in style in the spring as we welcomed local opponents to Gorton Street in May. Our teams enjoyed 5 weeks of competitive fixtures as our players, coaches and management team embraced the return of REAL rugby! Following the success of the Girls Mini Warrior events, we hosted a boys ‘JUNIOR BARBARIAN’ event in July. Age-Grade Players from U7- U16 and new recruits enjoyed a day of specialist coaching, a free branded t-shirt and an assault course challenge. This, alongside our presentation events over the Summer months, have repeatedly demonstrated how Eccles Junior rugby is about fun, festivity and friendship. This August, the club will be appointing a full time Community Rugby Coach who will liaise with local schools and bolster our Junior coaching at the club, as we continue to invest in the future of our players. Our Junior Revolution is ready to resume. If your child is interested to give rugby a try check out our club website for team details or drop me a line at danielnicholls@ecclesrfc.org.uk Hoping to see you on a Sunday very soon. Dan Nicholls, M&J Chairman, Eccles RFC
