At Ironsides U16s we take our rugby seriously.
The 2020-21 season starts on and we train at Garratt Green, Burntwood Lane, SW17 0AJ on Sunday mornings between 10am and midday.
We're a community club that play hard and fair and we play with passion – to win. But when the game is done, its done, and we're down to the clubhouse after a handshake for a burger, a drink and a laugh.
We run one squad of boys from the local area and our boys represent schools far and wide from Ernest Bevin, Chestnut Grove and St Cecilia's to Whitgift, Dulwich and St Paul's, to not to mention our international friends down at Lycee Francais!
We always welcome new players, at any time who want to play rugby, whether they've played before or are new to the game to become part of a new family – the Ironsides family.

When the weather is bad, there will be occasions where we are not allowed to play to minimize ground damage and cancellations may not be until 10am on the Sunday. If we do know in advance we will put a notice on the website, so please check on Sunday mornings before you head out and/or via the in-house availability system.
The in-house availability system is used to publish fixtures and coordinate availability through to selection so please lookout for emails from U14.Manager@ironsidesrugby.com with a click through YES or NO to confirm availability which the coaches can then see for selections.
As it is email based, it is key that your child’s details and your contact emails are correct on the site.
Kit is important as the children won’t be allowed to train without mouth-guards and studded rugby boots. Good waterproofs, gloves and a hat when it’s cold and/or wet and some children wear head-guards and body padding however these are not required.
We look forward to welcoming you to this great club. If you have any queries or concerns please don’t hesitate to ask one of the coaches or managers.

Training location - Wandsworth Common
We are an all-inclusive club and welcome boys of all standards and cater the training to suit all. We have festivals and club fixtures both at home and away and we ensure that all players get to a number of these over the season.
The weather will start getting cold and wet, so prepare for muddy Sundays. There will be some cases where we have to cancel training, but this may not be until 10am on the Sunday. If we do know in advance we will put a notice on the website, so please check on Sunday mornings before you head out.
Gumshields and boots compulsory to play!
New joiners: please contact U13.manager@ironsidesrugby.com for details how to be put on our waitihng list, due to COVID-19 we are not taking on new players at the present time.
Rubbish: please can all players and parents take any rubbish with them from training and matches - the coaches often have to clear away coffee cups/ empty water bottles/snack wrappers etc
Kit: On sale most Sundays at the clubhouse, cash or cheques only. There is a new shirt on sale for this season, with our new sponsor Rampton Baseley. It is absolutely fine to carry on wearing the old Douglas and Gordon tops, and for teams to play fixtures in a combination of the two styles. If anyone has any outgrown kit they want to give away, please let me know and I can try and find homes for them, I have a few people asking about this.
Volunteers: Are always needed, within the age group and at the club. All the Ironsides coaches, managers, first aiders, referees etc are volunteers and we always need more help! If you would like to get involved please let me know.
