Havant RFC Coaches Corner

About Havant RFC

Havant Rugby Football Club is the largest and most successful Rugby Club on the South Coast. Our 1stXV play in National League 3 London, Dolphins (2ndXV) in the Canterbury Shield, our AXV in the Hampshire Senior merit table and our mariners, or ‘veterans of the club’ play in the Hampshire Vets cup. This season we are establishing a social ‘fourths’ as a result of popular demand, and last season saw the inaugural season for our Senior Womens XV!!.

Many of our current 1stXV players are home grown. Last season 17 players out of a squad of 34 were ‘home grown.’ They started our Mini and Junior Section which meets on Sundays from 0945 until 1200. We offer rugby for absolutely everyone from the age of 5.  With over 360 registered players last season we must be doing something right!!! Girls’ rugby thrives; the girls play in mixed groups up to the age of 12, have then move to separate squads.

Our Mini and Junior Section caters for children from 5 years of age to 16. Under 17s and above move to our Academy which caters for players from U17 – U19. The Academy serves as a transition to Senior Rugby. All sections are affiliated to Hampshire RFU and in turn to the RFU, our governing body.

Training nights are: Tuesdays & Thursdays from 7pm for the 1st & 2nd XV, and 6.15pm for the Academy; and Wednesdays from 7pm for the ‘A’ XV, 4xv and Vets and our Women’s teams. Any adult players wanting to join should turn up at training or contact Rob Matthews on 07867 998337.
