Annual Rugby Licenses
Kindly note that for the past five consecutive years, the Annual License Fee has remained unchanged, and this year, it has been decided upon RUM’s Management Committee that the license fees will be increased as follows :-

All Junior Players (under 18 years) : Fee of Rs 1,000.- ,
All Senior Players (18 yrs & over) + Officials : Fee of Rs 1,500.-

As the Rugby Season is starting soon, all players need to renew their licenses now. It is understood that no player will be allowed to train or play without having his license renewed.

We would be grateful if you could either contact your child’s coach or send your renewal fee directly to RUM’s office by post so that the renewal process could be done smoothly and without rush.

It is also understood that all Officials including Coaches, Referees, First Aiders, etc. need to be licensed as they are all Union Members. For all Officials who are still not licensed, we encourage them to send
their Membership Application Form annexed, (which is also found on the Website section ‘Downloads’), together with 2 passport photos and Rs 1,500.- to RUM’s Office.

You should also bear in mind that the license fee includes an insurance cover as nobody knows what can happen on a Rugby field either during a training session or during a game.

Training
We will inform players of each Coaching Centre / Club soon regarding the resuming of Training sessions.

Rugby Season
The Rugby Season is due to start by the beginning of March, depending upon the Calendar which will be official by next month.

Should you require any additional information, please feel free to contact us on office@mauritiusrugby.mu

See how fast Rugby is moving in this small island! A new Coaching Centre is being created in the South.

Since the beginning of this year, a new Coaching Centre is being set-up in the south of the island.

For the time being, only U9 - U13 players have joined this Coaching Centre.
Players train at Pointe d'Esny every Saturday morning.

In the months to come, these players will surely be ready enough to participate in the tournaments held by Rugby Union Mauritius.

Should you live in the South and your boy wants to join the South Coaching Centre, please contact Machiel Odendaal (734-3952) who will be happy to assist you.
