Calling all Northampton Casuals RFC Mini and Junior families, new and old! We are excited to welcome you all back to the club for another fantastic season, this Sunday 6 September!

Dust off the boots, find the gumshield at the bottom of the kitbag, and get ready for some fun down at the Casuals.

We have an action packed Sunday for you all:

From 10am onwards
Get set for action on the pitch! Our coaches have some great sessions planned to get everyone warmed up and learning new skills for this season. Make sure your players are in the right place, at the right time, with the right kit - we'll have an A board at the club entrance with a map of training areas if you're unsure of where to go.

11am - first home game of the year for the juniors!
The Under 15 Boys are running out onto pitch one for a friendly match against Brackley RFC - please give them encouragement and support in their first match of the year - good luck lads!

From 11am onwards
Lots of stalls will open to keep everyone entertained after the whistles blow! We have face painting, a target throwing challenge, the unique Casuals ‘Play your Cards Right’ game, a cake sale and the Casuals kit shop will be open.

Inside the clubhouse you’ll find a fabulous raffle and a registration help desk for anyone that has questions about memberships and registration.

We’re also welcoming Apex mouthguards who will be taking digital mouth scans for anyone that wants a personalised gumshield this year (costs apply!)

12noon(ish) head to the pitch outside the kit shop
The inaugural inflatable fancy dress obstacle course takes place, featuring some willing "volunteers" from our coaching team who will be dressing up as a panda, lobster, koala, dinosaur and hippo amongst other animals! This is not to be missed, come and cheer for your favourite! We’re also hoping to have a certain Saints mascot make a special appearance - and perhaps set a course record for the obstacle race...

Throughout the morning we’ll have a great selection of food and drink available to keep everyone fuelled and happy, including superb coffee options from our newly upgraded machine in the bar…flat white, anyone?

And whilst you’re at the bar don’t forget to pick up your membership cards if you’ve already got an Associate Membership (you get this free with family membership) - if you’d like to become an Associate Member, purchase online for just £30 and enjoy member discounts.

As ever I want to say a massive thank you to all of our coaches, managers and volunteers that keep everything running at Casuals - here’s to a great start to the season…see you Sunday!
