Derby RFC has a long tradition in Colts rugby, having run a Colts team for over 50 years providing a steady flow of players into the senior teams and beyond.  In the last few years, over 20 Colts have moved on to play for the 1st XV.

This season Derby Colts will run just one team at under 18s. They will compete in the Saturday Colts Transition League and the National under 18s Colts Cup. With 26 League fixtures and some cup games, there should be plenty of game time for all players.

The section’s vision is to inspire, develop and retain as many Colts as possible to become competent, safe and effective rugby players who are capable of playing and enjoying senior rugby in a sustainable manner while buying into the ethos and camaraderie of rugby football.

The aim of the coaching team is to develop young players in a safe, challenging and fun environment.
The section maintains and fosters close ties with the senior club. As the season progresses and as player abilities develop there will be opportunities to play up a level within the club.
