Will Fawcett writes: The extraordinary growth of mini rugby at Thames Ditton continues apace, with over 200+ children regularly attending training every Sunday morning throughout the season.
From Under-5 upwards, the mini section has galvanised the local community, with age groups from Under-7 and above performing impressively in festivals and tournaments and spreading the OC legend.
Ambitious plans to harness this exponential growth aim to see OC mini players represent the club senior teams in future years, whilst retaining the OC ethos. Family-friendly, fun, caring; at OCs we are all about ensuring the children enjoy themselves whilst taking part in our great sport.
We want competitive rugby of course, but above all, we aim to instil the great riches rugby can bestow: confidence, friendship, team work, and pride in representing a worthwhile cause.
