JOINING WMRFC
For newcomers, any appropriate clothing can be worn and you are welcome to a couple of try-out sessions before deciding if you want to join. You can just turn up on one of our training or home mornings, or get in touch with one of the age group contacts listed on the Contacts page. Please take note of the requirements for gum shields and appropriate footwear below. A player without a gumshield will not be able to take part in any contact drills or games.

EQUIPMENT

Club colours are Claret and Cambridge blue. Shirts, shorts, socks and training tops are all available from the club. We also have hats and gloves for cold mornings. See the Kit page for the full list.

All players must have - and wear - a gum shield before being permitted to take part in sessions. For younger children, the heat-moulded gum shields are adequate, but older players are recommended to have correctly fitted mouth guards.

Rugby or football boots can be worn, but must be fitted with rugby studs or have moulded plastic studs or 'blades' with no sharp edges. We recommend the one-piece aluminium studs that carry the BSI 'Kitemark'. Trainers should not be worn as they do not provide enough protection and are not much use on wet grass or mud.

We hope to carry a small stock of gum shields, studs and second hand boots for the inevitable, "I forgot…" mornings, but don't count on it!

MEMBERSHIP
Players must be registered with the club and with Surrey RFU before they can take part in competitive matches. Annual membership is £75 per child or £110 per family. There are no additional match fees. The culture of the club is very much one of parental involvement. Annual fees are kept low because the vast majority of activities are carried out by volunteers.

Membership and registration are organised by age group managers who can supply the necessary paperwork, or click Here to download the registration form for this season.

Wimbledon are committed to making rugby accessible to all young people, regardless of ability to pay. Membership fees can be reduced for those who would not be able to participate otherwise. Requests should be made to age group managers - each case will be considered individually and confidentially.
