 Topsham Minis is one of the fastest growing and most successful minis sections in the East Devon area. We have a commitment to good fun and good rugby provided in a friendly, family orientated environment. Our ethos at all levels is to train for fun and play matches and festivals to give our young players the opportunity to prove and improve their skills. The hallmark of the club is its warm, welcoming and friendly family atmosphere.
Mini rugby is a specially designed approach to rugby that introduces boys and girls to the key aspects of the game in a structured and safe manner. Children play in groups from U7 to U13, attaining new skills and gaining a wider appreciation of the game as they progress from age group to age group. Just as important, children learn about the camaraderie and the philosophy of rugby, making new friends from a wide range of schools and backgrounds.
Training takes place on Sunday mornings on the Bonfire field at Topsham, (click here for directions) starting at 10:00am, usually with skill development activities followed by matches. Each session finishes at approximately 12:00pm. There are a large number of home and away fixtures against some of the best mini clubs in the county and we participate in several festivals, particularly in the second half of the season.
As a minis club, our objective is to provide children with a positive experience of rugby and all that it entails. The engagement of his or her family in the club is an important part of achieving this goal as we are a volunteer organisation. If you'd like to find out more, please contact us, click on squad pages for a specific team's fixtures and turn up at the bonfire field on a Sunday morning when we're at home and see for yourself.

To
deliver training in an effective and child centred manner, we
currently have 2 RFU qualified coaches per age group and intend to
increase this to 3 by the start of the 06/07 season. Our coaches are
committed, enthusiastic and have a well-developed understanding of
the needs of children and how is best to communicate with them. By
the start of the 06/07 season, all Topsham Mini coaches will be CRB
registered.
