Under 9's - Bognor Rugby Club
Welcome to the Under 9's team at Bognor Rugby Club.
We currently have around 25 players with many of our squad having been together from the start at Under 6, where the children learnt their skills before venturing into competitive tag rugby at Under 7 and Under 8.
This year we are all very excited to be beginning full contact at Under 9. Coached by a team of 5: Leon Walker, Doug Millen, Simon Page, Richard Lindsey and Morgan Thomas.
Over the past three years our squad has gone quite literally from strength to strength and have won numerous trophies. At the Richmond Deer Park Festival we had the honour of playing on the hallowed turf at Twickenham during the Double Header half time, September 2010, beating Andover 3-2. Our continued success has seen us secure three sponsors for the 2011/12 season.

Training & New Players
We welcome all children in school year 4. The under 9's year is the introduction to contact rugby. Players will not be permitted to play in matches until they have received sufficient training in tackling safely. The scrums and lineouts are introduced for teaching purposes and so are uncontested (no pressure).
Training Sessions
Sunday Mornings (Sept to May)
10am to 12
New players can come along to any training fixture for a free taster session
