HAREHILLS A.R.L.F.C

This club was formed to create an avenue for young people to channel their talents.  Each child is unique and has something to offer our club. 

Our club does not just focus on Rugby ability, it respects all individuals and what they have to offer.

Our aim is to teach children Rugby skills, respect for others, discipline, knowledge of nutrition, teamwork, individuality, responsibility and fun.

We aim to run a family orientated Rugby club with a community spirit where parents feel part of the team and are valued as much as the children. 

Within our club we hope to promote fairness and equality for all.  The rules of our club are guided by officials, parents and the children themselves, this helps create ownership of the club.

                    Firstly I will give some brief details about myself.  I have been involved in Rugby League for 30 years playing amateur and professional.  Since retirement from the game, I have attended and passed a coaching course with The Rugby League Coach Education Programme, and have now begun coaching a team at Harehills Liberal Club.  The team is new and the response has been excellent.
