If you love rugby, whether as an existing player, potential player or supporter, the Steelers has something for you!
"Our first team is involved in a tough and exciting Essex Division II, where on any given Saturday any club can defeat any opponent. The rugby tends to be faced paced and exciting. Our second team are in Essex B&L Merit Table Division 8, and their opponents range from youngsters breaking into adult rugby, or old-stagers enjoying showing youngsters 'a thing or two'. Both teams play tough, competitive and fun rugby; with the spirit to play in an open and attacking manner.
Our coaching team is varied in experience, and we offer coaching for all standards of ability or experience. Two first team coaches (1 for forwards and 1 for backs), a second team coach and a development coach are overseen by a Head Coach with 16 years experience. Training is twice a week, Tuesdays & Thrusday evenings at our club house, starting at 7:15pm. Tuesday evening sessions are designated for competitive game style exercises to improve/develop team and individual skills; and it is also the main night for development coaching. Thursday evening sessions are designated for match planning; plus smaller development groups.
We are always on the look out to recruit new players; regardless of ability, knowledge or experience. We have a good squad, though we do lack strength in depth in a few positions. Front row or backs players are especially of interest to us at present. However we always find room to give everyone a fair chance in either the first or second teams. We train hard, and play an exciting brand of rugby with a mindset to win our games; the drinks in the bar are far more enjoyable when you are successful."
