Campus Map
School minibuses and parents in cars to enter through the Main School Entrance via Butterfly Lane. Parking is available in the North Drive.
Welcome to Habs I would like to welcome all players, staff and parents to the Habs Rugby Sevens Festival. The aim of the week is to grant the boys some much needed game time ahead of the traditional Schools Sevens programme after half term. I hope that staff and boys will use the opportunity to develop their skills and understanding of the game in a relaxed and informal atmosphere. The number of teams that have entered the festival varies each day so please check the programme for details such as tournament format, length of matches and pitch allocation. Please also be aware of the law changes for each age group, according to RFU regulations. All tournaments will start at 2pm with the exception of the Seniors, which will start at 1.30pm (Wednesday). THE SIZE OF SQUAD IS UNLIMITED BUT ONLY 12 MAY BE AVAILABLE FOR EACH MATCH. Roll on-roll off substitutions are unlimited.
Hot soup and tea and coffee will be available for all during the course of the afternoon, served from the foyer of the Penne’s Changing Rooms. A packed tea will be available for all players and staff prior to departure. I hope that you enjoy the week!
