Introduction & Values:
The 2026-7 season will start on Sunday 6th September 2026 for Junior Boys (Under 12 to Under 16).

Barnes Rugby Club runs a thriving boys Juniors section with over 250 registered players. We enthusiastically subscribe to the RFU youth rugby values of Teamwork, Respect, Enjoyment, Discipline and Sportsmanship (TREDS) and look to provide an inclusive and fun environment along with excellent coaching and skills development, plus enjoyment of competition as the players approach their teenage years.

Junior parent coaches are supplemented by professional coaching offered by Jack Heald Coaching and involvement of Senior players. Jack is Barnes RFC Director of Rugby and also runs a rugby coaching company that we use.

We foster a strong “One Club” approach with support between the age groups and close ties with the senior sections of the Club, all helped by enjoyment of our welcoming Clubhouse – and no doubt the regular free hot dogs and lunches in the clubhouse after training and competitive fixtures!

Our Junior sides enter Surrey Cup competitions and have achieved some excellent results in recent seasons, with several cup final appearances.

Rugby Camps in the school holidays and End or Season Tours are highlights of the season for many.

We look forward to seeing you at Barnes Rugby!

Where and When:
Juniors and Colts train on SUNDAY mornings at:
Barn Elms Sports Centre
Queen Elizabeth Walk,
Barnes SW13 0DG
a set of pitches at the far end of Queen Elizabeth Walk, by the Thames.

Training times may vary slightly by age group and are shown on the 360player app calendars, and junior groups will have away matches some days, so check details before coming along.

The site has car parking, but it often fills up. It is a NO DOGS site.

Join Us:
We are always keen to welcome new players and families to the Club at all ages and experience levels, including beginners. For player safety and security reasons, all new players must be registered before they participate.

Subscriptions cover attendance at training as well as festivals or cup matches throughout the season, coaching, equipment, membership of the Return2Play concussion injury assistance support programme, family social membership of Barnes RFC and also the hot dogs and lunches provided after some training sessions.

A free three session trial is available for players new to Barnes rugby, so they can see if they like it before joining up; we are confident they will! Please use Player360 to sign up for a free trial.

We also run an exceptional financial circumstances scheme to support players who would like to participate but would not otherwise be able to do so for financial reasons. We sponsor a number of players each year to train, play and even tour with Barnes RFC, so they can experience rugby and benefit from the life-long skills and discipline that it teaches. For consideration under this scheme, please contact the relevant section head or the membership officer as shown below, and your application will be treated in strict confidence.

Barnes Kit Shop: Our kit shop is open Saturdays mornings 9:30am to 11am at the Minis training, by the Barn Elms Sports Trust (BEST) pavilion and café, for all Barnes youth rugby ages, with shirts, hoodies, weatherproof tops, shorts, socks and hats. Most (but not all) is also available to purchase direct from the main supplier at https://www.oneills.com/uk_en/shop-by-team/rugby

Safeguarding:
Safeguarding responsibilities are taken very seriously: all coaches have DBS certificates, many coaches have additional safeguarding training and each age group has first-aiders and first aid kits. Contact details for our Safeguarding Officer are posted at the site and available below.
