We are pleased to let you know that Mini & Youth training started on The Heath on Sunday 6th September and Age Grade Registration is NOW OPEN!
It's always worth getting it sorted early so we can all focus on the fun on the pitch from the start of the playing season.
A reminder that as a club we must register all players from Rugby Stars to U18s on the RFU’s Game Management System (GMS) each year. For new players, please follow the step-by-step instructions in Section A below. If you are renewing an age grade player registration, please go to Section B.
Please note that this is a two-step process in your GMS dashboard and you must complete both steps for your child’s registration to be fully up to date. You need to:
- Register or renew your player’s registration; and
- Pay the relevant membership fee.
To help our admins, we ask that everyone completes both steps - registering their player and paying their membership fees as soon as possible.
As mentioned in Bryan’s email in September, membership subscription fees have increased by £10 for the 2026/27 season. We recognise that these remain difficult times for many families, so the club’s player support fund is available for anyone facing financial difficulties. The process is strictly confidential and designed to help keep people playing rugby. To apply, please email treasurer@roystonrugbyclub.co.uk.
Membership fees for 2026/27 season are as follows:
- U5/U6 (Rugby Stars): £85
- U7-U12 (Minis): £105
- Girls (all ages): £105
- U13-U18 (Juniors Boys): £135
One thing to always remember is to register or renew in your child's profile, not your own... please follow the instructions below, this should ensure you don't accidentally get a call-up in place of your child!
Links to RFU Support Guides are provided below for a step-by-step walk-through. If you need help, please contact RFU Support in the first instance before asking your year group admin.
Many thanks for your support with the registration process.

Membership
Once your child is registered, membership fees must be purchased within GMS on your personal dashboard by clicking 'Buy Membership' in each player’s profile.
Why your timely registration is so important:
- It helps us understand how many members we have and manage the club’s finances for the year.
- Players must be registered before they can represent the club in matches.
- Players who are not registered with the club may not be covered by club insurance.
- Only registered members can apply for international tickets.
- Our international ticket allocation is partly based on the number of players we have registered and the number of games played, so timely registration helps the club secure the best possible allocation for members.
Thank you!
Support with this process can be found via the Community Rugby Help.
