Happy new Rugby season to you all!
Many thanks to all those Mini and Juniors parents who have already completed the required admin. If you haven’t already sorted it and you need a little bit of help, please see the information below;

GMS
Age Grade Player Affiliation is a fully online annual process for club players between U6 to U18. RFU Regulation requires players to be affiliated online each season within 45 days of the start of the season or from first joining the club.

Please Note: Stourbridge RFC require all parents / guardians to have paid their Club membership and M&J players to be affiliated before the commencement of any fixtures.

This simple process involves a players’ parent / guardian affiliating their child on an annual basis on the RFUs Game Management System (GMS) and being approved by the Club Registrar.

EXISTING PLAYERS
For an existing player, the parent updates a child’s details with any new medical information, emergency contact details and consents, linked directly from their own Personal Profile page.

NEW PLAYERS
For brand new players, there is a simple Profile creation and affiliation system on the same platform in GMS.
The online, parent-led process ensures that parents and players are in control of their unique individual record through their lifetime in rugby, ensuring data security and compliance with applicable data protection law. It provides more consistent, accurate and up-to-date information for clubs and the RFU to help players and parents enjoy their Age Grade Rugby and transition into the adult game.
