Sunday 13/03/11 10am @ Bishopston
An early kick off this Sunday as we aim to host both Penlan RFC at 10am and Fall Bay RFC straight after at 10.45am, with hot dogs to follow at Mumbles Rugby Club.
It's back to the park for an introduction to contact
Training @ Underhill Park 5.30pm 11/03/11.
It is our intention to begin to slowly introduce tackling to the Vikings. We want to take this opportunity to assure you that safety at this transition point is paramount. Preparation to the tackle will follow a step by step process that will involve progressive practices and drills before any contact game is played.
At this point you may wish to consider protective equipment (Mouth Guard / Head Guard/ body armour etc) but please note that the use of protective equipment is a personal choice and not a requirement. Please ensure you take professional advice (e.g. dentist) on this equipment when purchasing and making sure that they fit adequately. Please note that ill fitting equipment may do more harm than good (particularly ill fitting mouth guards).
If you have any questions, or you consider that attending an informal meeting at the club with all parents one evening to discuss the progression to contact might be of benefit, then please feel free to contact any of the coaching team.
As ever, the continued assistance from volunteers is essential to the success of teams and clubs such as the Mumbles RFC Vikings. To this end, if you would like to consider attending any official WRU coaching or refereeing courses over the summer to progress your understanding, qualifications and involvement in the running of the team (funded by the club), then please speak to any of the coaching team.

Message from our Jnr Chairman
Hi all
Last night the 15th Feb there was an incident where one of our parents used abusive language towards the owner of the bungalow regarding parking, which also involved his disabled wife. This behavior is not acceptable.
Gareth Bennett has spoken to him and apologised on behalf of the club and will act as a liason for any future incidents,
The rules are straightforward, the entrance from Newton Road should not be blocked or the entrance to the bungalow, parking is not allowed on the access link to his bungalow (alongside the main pitch) it is a right of way.If you have a disabled person or large amouns of kit to drop of , you must park by the goundmens hut, away from the entrance to his bungalow and then park your car as normal.
Thanks for your help.
