Yarm Youth Rugby was launched in April 2004 as part of a strategy for continued club development. To enhance the section we have been paired with Stockton Rugby Club this season.

The Induction Pack provides a background of information along with application and consent forms that must be completed as part of player registration.

Yarm Youth Rugby applies the RFU Continuum adapting the laws of the senior game. This is designed to allow boys and girls to progressively learn rugby skills and have fun at the same time.

If you need more information please speak to one of the coaching team or Email YYR
