Whether your child is brand new to rugby or already loves the game, we’re excited to welcome them to the Rossendale RUFC family. Our Mini teams are all about having fun, making friends, playing as a team and learning how to play the best sport in the world. Our Mini’s section is for children aged between 5 and 8 with each year group playing as an individual team.

Rugby is more than just a sport—it’s a brilliant way for children to:

Build confidence and resilience
Learn teamwork and communication
Develop physical fitness and coordination
Make lasting friendships
Understand respect, discipline, and fair play

We proudly promote the RFU’s core values, especially Respect, which applies to players, coaches, parents, and supporters alike. It’s what makes our club a welcoming space for everyone.

New players are always welcome to come along and give rugby a try. If you are interested, please get in touch here.

Our teams meet during the season at Rossendale Rugby Club, located at Marl Pits, Rawtenstall. Sessions are tailored to each age group, with a focus on enjoyment, teamwork, and learning the game.
