Welcome to Eastleigh Pirates Minis and Juniors Rugby Club. It is my pleasure and privilege to be Chairman of what I believe to be a fantastic club at the heart of the local community. We are a grass-roots club providing rugby coaching to over 400 children from the ages of 4 to 18. The club is open to all players regardless of gender, race, religion, sexual orientation or perceived ability as a rugby player.

We are committed to providing a happy and inclusive environment for children to learn and develop their rugby skills under the supervision of our coaches, who are RFU qualified and have the appropriate DBS child safety checks and first aid qualifications. I strongly believe that rugby is a game to be played and enjoyed by everyone and that success at grassroots should not be measured by the trophies we win but by the number of children who choose to play for Eastleigh and continue to play for us throughout their childhood and into adulthood. However, rugby is also a competitive sport and so we will help our players reach the best that their ability allows as an individual and as part of a team.

Training is on Sunday mornings from 9am onwards with timings varying depending on the age groups. There is also mid-week training for the older age groups.

I look forward to welcoming you to the Club and hope that your child develops a love for rugby and makes many happy memories of their time at Eastleigh Pirates.
