Known as Wimbledon RFC in the Community, and run by Zion Sports, we have asked them to run an Easter holiday rugby camp at Wimbledon RFC. It won't be your common or garden camp but will really concentrate on developing skills and being delivered in a fun and engaging way.

Game sense games • Drills for skills • Intro to rugby fitness • Developing teamwork • Conditioned games

Before we get on to this week's unusually "village" pitch plan, please make sure you do NOT park on any of the roads around the club as they are private roads. If you arrive after 9.30 please park off Copse Hill as per the alternative parking areas shown on our parking policy...

Alternative parking places for WMRFC when on-site parking is full (in order of proximity)
1. Copse Hill between the A238 and Barham Road (park on either side).
2. Beverley Avenue there is a footpath at the end that leads to Hood Road. Walk up and turn into Preston
Road.
3. Burdett Avenue and Cottenham Park Road to the east of Copse Hill road this involves a five minute
walk
4. Oakwood Road there is a footpath at the top corner (Cottenham Park Road) that runs between the
allotments and the Oberon Field. Walk down to Burdett Avenue – approx. a 10 minute walk
