Support our juniors! Join the Youth Development Fund!

As you probably know we have a thriving Mini/Junior section with teams from U7’s to U15s level.

This is not by chance but by the hard work of club officials, members, players, and especially, coaches and parents.

However, there are not inconsiderable costs involved in running the Mini/Junior section and this is where the Youth Development Fund (YDF) comes in.
The Fund was set up a number of years ago by several ex-players and officials to promote the great sport of rugby in South Manchester in general and to particularly encourage youngsters to play at Didsbury Toc H.

We provide funds so that the section can function and thrive. Here are examples of the some of the things we do/have done;

Contribute to travel costs for teams

Subsidise kit

Buy equipment e.g. balls, tackle bags, tag belts

Subsidise coaching courses

Pay for team entries into competitions

Provide medals etc. for the end of season awards

Along with the RFU help pay for coaches to promote rugby in local schools.

This is where you come in! I’m asking you to give £5 a month In order to maintain and improve our Mini/Junior section. This can be paid by standing order and you can download a form from the website (Click on Information then Youth Development Fund) or ask a club official/coach for one.
Please consider helping us and invest in the future of the club.
