U16
Welcome to the U16 BBRFC Celtic Rugby Team!
Moving from U14 to U16 brings tougher contact, smarter tactics, and more responsibility.
Contact: Bigger players, harder tackles, full scrums and lineouts.
Tactics: More game awareness, decision-making, and team strategies.
Fitness: Greater stamina, strength work, and recovery routines.
Rules: U16 follows almost all adult rugby laws.
Responsibility: Players manage training, nutrition, and preparation.
Our experienced coaches help players improve skills, confidence, teamwork, and friendships. We teach rugby values: discipline, respect, and resilience.
We also guide nutrition, fitness, recovery, and injury prevention to support on- and off-field development.
Season play includes league matches across Belgium and Luxembourg; some players also represent Rugby Vlaanderen. We welcome an inclusive international community for players and families.
All levels welcome — join us!
