"As the Club Coach, I am predominately looking to recruit experienced players who can enhance our first team. Specifically we are hoping to recruit experienced front row players, to set up a platform to launch our exciting and dynamic back line. Our first team has a tough and exciting season ahead, in Essex Division II, and whilst we have the squad to play competitive rugby to challenge for the top half of the table, we are lacking depth in a few positions. Having said that, we are always looking to recruit potential players of any age, experience, ability and fitness. The more players we have to challenge for 2nd and 1st team places, the stronger the club will be.

"The club trains twice a week on Monday and Wednesday evenings. Monday evening training is for the whole squad to work on fitness, conditioning and improving the core skills; passing, tackling, rucking and mauling. We also have a dedicated team of development coaches who work with new players and also work on improving specific skills for experienced players. Wednesday evening is specifically for game play, and is open to players who have the experience and/or ability to play in 1st or 2nd team matches; scrummaging, line outs, continuity and game planning".

Supporters

Do you often sit watching those old black and white matinees on Saturday afternoon, thinking there must be more to do at the weekend than this?

Well, there is!

Becoming a Supporter of the Kings Cross Steelers is a great way to meet new people, boost your social calendar and enjoy some great rugby from the sidelines.

As our teams have progressed on the pitch, the Supporters have been there to rally the players on to victory after victory, always celebrating after each game at the club bar!

Regular social and fundraising events are organised for the club and our Supporters play a massive role is these activities.

The Supporters have also joined the teams on many national and international tours over the past fews years, inluding trips to Dublin, Cardiff, the south of France and New York City!

There really is so much to be gained from Steelers Supporters membership and with the Union Cup coming to London in May 2009, there is a chance to make many news friends from across Europe!
