The C Lions are the Lions new 3rd team. If you are interested in joining the team please get in touch.
Being willing to have a go is more important in our team than being a brilliantly gifted athlete. We are reasonably competitive in that we do 'play to win' and try our best. We are playing in a league not messing about in the park. BUT we don't go overboard with this, if we play well and lose we would be happy about playing well rather than sulking about losing.
Everything within the team is done on a pretty informal basis. There is a hard core of players who turn up to practice & play every week and then there are others who have other commitments who appear less frequently. As long as you do turn up when you say you will, and tell people in advance when you can't, not being able to play every game isn't a problem.
The basics of the game are easy to pick up and we have an experienced coach who will help you to get going. The club owns kit which you can use when you play.
There aren't any formal rules about this but in practice team selection is based on commitment with some (minor) allowance for talent !
During the season we have weekly practices at Trafford Metrovicks RUFC, which means we enjoy better training facilities than virtually any other team in the Manchester League.
There is no charge for coming to practice and we are happy for anyone to turn up and have a go. We can provide all the necessary equipment.
