Tiverton RFC · Junior Section · Registration Guides
Est. 1868 · Devon's oldest club

We are delighted to welcome you to Tiverton RFC Juniors! Rugby for boys and girls aged 7 to 18 — every age group, every ability, new players always welcome.
The form is completed by the parent or guardian of the player, and creates a parent/guardian account on Spond — not a player account. Complete the form once for each player you are registering.
Pick the form for your player's team:
Boys and girls, Under 7s to Under 16s. New players are welcome to two taster sessions before fees are due.
Juniors sign-upFor girls in school Years 8 up to and including Year 11. New players are welcome to four taster sessions before fees are due.
Girls sign-upOur oldest age group. Not sure whether your player is Juniors or Colts? Ask any coach or your Parent Rep.
Colts sign-upAfter completing the form, download the Spond app to your smartphone — search "Spond" on the App Store or Google Play. As all our players are under 18, their accounts are managed by a parent or guardian through the app: you confirm availability, pay fees and receive club communication there.
£15 per season for youth players (£40 for Colts), paid via the RFU's GMS website as part of Step 2. Make sure you select Tiverton RFC as your club.
£64 per season. The club sends you a Payment Request through the Spond app — it appears in the Payments tab. We usually send these out in September each season. For players joining through the season, we send the Payment Request after they have completed two training sessions. You can pay in one go or in four instalments; choose what suits you best.
£4 per match for the 2026/27 season. A Spond notification is sent to you on each match day to make the payment.
If you are experiencing financial difficulties and are unable to pay the fees, please message Sam Kirkwood, the Spond Admin, via 07967 22 00 67 — the club will be happy to support you. Such conversations remain confidential.
Registering with any rugby club at any age also requires you to register your player with the RFU, via their GMS website. You pay the RFU membership fee there and select Tiverton RFC as your club. Your player's RFU ID comes from GMS — you will need it to complete their club registration.
The guide walks you through the whole thing with screenshots — creating the account, adding your player, paying the fee and completing the consents.
We process every application, and whilst we cannot guarantee an application will be approved, we will do our level best to accommodate all players. Once accepted, you pay the training fee via Spond, and your first point of contact becomes the Head Coach and Parent Rep of your age group — general communication is via Spond and your coach's chosen method, such as WhatsApp.
Already with us? Head to the membership renewal guide. Volunteering instead? We would love to have you — see joining as a coach or becoming a Parent Rep.
All training takes place at Coronation Field — just turn up to your first session, no need to book.
Sundays, 10:00–11:00am. Our youngest players learn the game through tag rugby and small-sided fun — no experience needed. These age groups train on Sundays, with matches every other weekend.
Wednesdays, 6:30–7:30pm (U16s 6:30–8:00pm). Age groups train under RFU-qualified coaches, building skills through the age-grade game.
Sunday mornings. Fixtures and festivals against clubs across Devon, home and away. Parents and supporters welcome.
Want to bring your child along, ask about an age group, or volunteer? We'd love to hear from you.
