Delivering Rugby to our community
Puma Youth
Locks Heath Puma Youth and Puma Cubs are proud to be the fastest-growing junior rugby club in the area. Since our humble beginnings in 2017 with just a handful of players, we’ve grown into a thriving community that now supports nearly 300 local children aged 4 to 16 (Year R to Year 11). We pride ourselves on being fully inclusive, welcoming children of all abilities and backgrounds.
Our membership and age groups continue to expand year on year as we grow our player base.
Looking ahead, our ambition is to build a complete playing pathway, from our youngest Puma Cubs all the way to Colts and ultimately integrate into the Club’s Senior section, creating lifelong opportunities through rugby.
We have a dedicated team of over 70 volunteers and coaches who are DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) checked and coaching qualified. Our volunteers provide our Pumas the opportunity to play rugby in a safe, inclusive, friendly and fun environment adhering to the RFU Core Values of Teamwork, Respect, Enjoyment, Discipline and Sportsmanship (TREDS).
Visit our dedicated age group pages to find out more about the coaches and support teams that deliver rugby week-in, week-out, rain or shine!
Puma Girls
We have thriving girls’ teams who are trail blazing their way into Hampshire Festivals!
We’re proud to be the only Club in Hampshire to play our girls in mixed gender and all girls teams at an early age to build their confidence and create bonds to take them into U12s when they split off into a girl only team.
Our girls light up the Hampshire Festivals with their adapted Yellow and Pink playing shirts and socks. We show our commitment to the female game though running an all-girls additional mid-week training session to help further build their playing confidence.
Puma Youth Colours
Our Puma Cubs stand out at festivals in their bright yellow playing kit displaying the proud Puma paw print on their back!
Our Puma Youth wear the same green and black as you Senior 1XV to signify their growth to playing within the Hampshire Cups and Leagues.
Training and Membership
To find out about our training locations and times visit our ‘Training Locations’ page.
For membership information please visit our ‘Membership’ page. We are committed to rugby being available to all, our membership is considerably less expensive than most other sports, and we make a significate effort to keep our subsidies as low as possible for all sections of the Club.
We are also committed to supporting families that may struggle to afford our subsidies. We recognise that life and providing for children is expensive, so please do reach out to Gem, our Youth Chair should you need support
We are a community Club and once you’re in we consider you a part of the Puma family. You’ll have the opportunity to get involved in our fun social and fund-raising events! Once a Puma always a Puma!
