Huel Tring Rugby U15s builds on the foundations of 15-a-side rugby introduced at U14, with players continuing to develop their understanding of positions, units and how the whole team connects in attack and defence.

One of the biggest developments at U15 is the introduction of lifting in the lineout. This adds a new technical and physical challenge to the set piece and requires players to develop confidence, communication, timing and trust in one another.

Lineout lifting is introduced safely and progressively, with players learning the roles of the jumper, front lifter, back lifter and thrower before increasing complexity or competition.

As players mature, we also want them to take greater ownership of their rugby. Coaches increasingly challenge players to scan, communicate, make decisions, solve problems and understand why they are doing something, rather than simply following instructions.

What's New at U15?

LINEOUT LIFTING – Players are introduced to safely lifting and supporting a jumper, adding a new dimension to the lineout.

JUMP, LIFT & SUPPORT – Players develop safe body positions, grips, timing and movement, with the priority always on the safety of the jumper.

UNIT CONNECTION – Thrower, jumper and lifters learn how their individual actions must work together to produce an effective lineout.

TACTICAL UNDERSTANDING – Players begin to explore how different lineout options can be used to create quality possession and provide an attacking platform.

Our U15 Philosophy

SCAN – Recognise space, pressure, threats and opportunities.

DECIDE – Understand your options and make decisions based on what the game presents.

GO FORWARD – Create and maintain momentum in attack.

COMPETE – Develop confidence and effectiveness across contact, breakdown and set piece.

CONNECT – Understand how individuals, units and the whole team work together.

COMMUNICATE – Provide useful information before, during and after the action.

UNDERSTAND YOUR ROLE – Develop greater positional knowledge while continuing to build a broad range of rugby skills.

TAKE OWNERSHIP – Encourage players to lead, problem-solve and take increasing responsibility for their own development and team performance.

U15 Rugby | Scan • Decide • Compete • Connect • Take Ownership

Our aim is simple: develop confident, skilful and increasingly independent rugby players who understand their role, connect effectively with their teammates and are beginning to take real ownership of their rugby journey at Huel Tring.

New players are always welcome!

We always welcome new players (boys at Year 10 school age) - whether they've played before or completely new to rugby, they'll find a fun, supportive and challenging environment at Huel Tring Rugby. This allows our players to develop new skills, work as a team, keep fit and - just as importantly - make friends and gain confidence.

Pre-season is off and running and so during August we will be having fun sessions on Sundays at 10.30am and Wednesday at 7pm

Our first training session of the 2026/27 season will be 10:30am to 12pm on Sunday 6th September 2026 - and then every Sunday morning after that. We also have a midweek training session each Wednesday night at 7pm to 8pm. New players are welcome to join a training session or two so they can try rugby for a few weeks without commitment.

We have two teams in the Herts Middlesex Junior Leagues and a full calendar of friendly matches against local clubs throughout the season.

If you’d like to give rugby a try, please feel feel free to just drop me a line if you have questions
