Manchester Village Spartans RUFC offers members of the public, the opportunity to train (without paying membership fees) for a maximum period of four weeks within the first calendar month from the date of the player’s first training attendance with certain restrictions and the following conditions: Players must be 18yrs of age or over. The free training covers up to a maximum of 8 individual training sessions comprising O2 Touch Rugby Training and/or Union Rugby Training.  A new player may only attend training sessions or other games or events if they meet particular health and safety criteria available upon request. The free trial period offer is not available to players who have previously been paying or playing members of the club, including players who have previously held a direct debit mandate as a player or supporter. The four weeks of Free training is subject to availability.  The Free trial period may be withdrawn at any time and the club reserve the right to refuse any player, subscribed or not, to play for the Spartans or attend training sessions – for example, due to Covid restrictions or breaking our Code of Conduct.

Covid-19 precautions – The decision of the club’s Directors is final and no discussion or negotiation will be entered into.

More details about some typical costs a player can expect to incur by playing rugby can be found here or by asking our recruitment officer here. We strongly recommend that anyone playing rugby should purchase their own insurance to cover them in the event of an accident as club insurance is unlikely to cover you in the event of an accident, prior to subscribing.
