It was Wet and Windy

Well done to all the players who made it to a wet and windy practise! It was our first weather challenge and the arrival of players persuaded the coaches to continue as planned.

The prime objective of the session was to stay busy and warm and we all got a good workout. Everyone should sleep well tonight! During the game once again there was some great solo tries and the coaches noticed the beginnings of some good support players. Well done, see you next week - 9.15am.

A note to the parents: We will be looking to start collecting subs for the Mumbles Predators account next week. We are proposing a £5.00 joining fee with a £4.00/month standing order. All monies will be spent on the team.

Lastly, please pass the word around to any interested Year 1's who would like to join The Predators. We are hoping to build a full side for next season's fixtures down at Underhill Park.

More great weather at the beach

Sunday morning gave us another great day for beach rugby. The players were in full spirit and enjoyed the usual warm-up, drills and game of TAG rugby.

Welcome to Torin who displayed winning talent with good tagging skills and a debut try. Other tries came from Louis, Luke and James. Well done lads!

This Sunday (11th) the tide will be coming in, and we will be tight for time and possibly space. But not wanting to disappoint the players we will begin at 9.00am and play for as long as the tide allows. See you down the beach.

"Mumbles Predators" have arrived!

Following agreement from the players on Sunday, we have decided on our name: "Mumbles Predators".









After a good warm-up, a passing skills practice and an introduction to the TAG belts the players impressed the coaches with their first game of TAG rugby. All players had the opportunity to handle the ball with tries from James, Mason, Ethan, Will and Louis, giving a result of Reds: 3, Yellows: 3.




We hope to see more of the same next week. Same time of 9.15am.

Same place, same time.

High tide is around 11.50am this Sunday, so we will be meeting at 9.15am as usual. See you there.

High tide delays kick off!

After an unexpected high tide delay, apologies to all, our second session kicked off as planned with 11 keen players. Welcome to the three newcomers, Marley, Jess and Louis.

This week we introduced "stuck in the sand/mud" which the children thoroughly enjoyed. Mason and Ethan's side stepping skills impressed Coach Chris. All players now understand the rules of touch and try lines though practice is still required.

After splitting into two relay teams Coach Jon was pleased that all players scored some great tries and Oliver and Will showed some great ball skills.

During the end of training game Luke, Rees and James showed excellent support skills with Dav running in two late tries. Well done all! See you again next week for our first game of TAG!

Parents please can you remember the registration forms. See you again next Sunday, time still to be confirmed depending on tide times.

U6's kick off with fantastic weather at Caswell

Well wow, what a good start to this season's beach rugby! The weater was definitely on our side.

All fourteen players impressed the coaches (Jon, Tony and Chris) by learning fast. After the warm-up the theory of try and touch lines was quickly understood. Splitting into groups of two's and three's they demonstrated their ball skills and learnt how to pass the ball across their body with pointed fingers in the direction of their receiving team mate. It was heard that one team claimed 110 passes! Let's hope their optimism continues. It was a productive hour which ended with several games of "Touch bulldog" and a game of touch rugby producing 3 tries!

Parents please remember your signed registration forms and we hope to see you all down the beach again next Sunday at 9.15am. To all the boys and girls, well done!
