The Strathmore Sharks are very fortunate to have the facilities provided by Strathmore Rugby Club.

Parents can enjoy a coffee and keep an eye on  the youngsters as they train or play on a Sunday morning.

There is also a great selection of Sharks merchandise for sale in the club on both match and training days.

Training starts at 11:00 am prompt for all teams, the P1 - P3 Micro's finish at Mid-day, P4 - P7 Mini's finish at 12:15pm and the S1 - S2 Midi's finish at 12:30 pm

See the fixture list for details of training & match days.

Safety! Regardless if you have played before, you must have attended training before you will be allowed to take part in a match, you will be assessed by the coaches and only be

allowed to play once they are satisfied you are ready. This normally takes between one and three training sessions.

During normal matches there is no restriction on squad sizes, therefore everybody gets to play. The only exception is where numbers are restricted at tournaments.  

What to bring with you!

Gum Shield (Essential) Training top, Shorts or trackie bottoms, Boots (football boots are ok but you will need rugby studs) a bottle of water and a lot of enthusiasm (Essential)

The gum shield is the most important piece of equipment a rugby player should own. The gum shield not only protects your teeth and gums, it can reduce damage around the jaw and your chances of getting concussed. As every mouth is different, so every gum shield should be moulded to fit perfectly around the top half of a player's mouth. The best way of doing this is to go and see your dentist, who will make sure the shield is right for your mouth. The other type of gum shield is the "boil in the bag" type which is moulded using hot water. Put the warm shield in your mouth and suck on it for roughly three minutes until it has moulded to the shape of your upper teeth.
