2. The Right Equipment
Rugby requires very little specialist equipment, typically shorts, a strong shirt, socks and football boots. Everyone involved in contact rugby, under 8’s and upwards, are required to wear a mouth guard during training and matches, to protect both them and their fellow players. Mouth guards are always available for sale at the club. We also offer a very popular range of Riviera branded items including shirts, shorts, and socks, as well as rain and wind resistant training tops.
In general you need the following:
Outdoor Training:
EVERYONE – Sports Shirt, Shorts, Socks and Football Boots
COLD & WET – Additional wind/water resistant top, and trousers
U8 – U18 – Mouth Guard – These are available to purchase every Saturday morning
Indoor Training:
EVERYONE – Sports Shirt, Shorts, Socks and CLEAN Indoor Trainers
