WELCOME TO THE CLUB
New to rugby?
Let's get you started.
We're looking forward to welcoming you to Rushden & Higham Mini Section. Here's everything you need to know to get started.
Before your child's first training session
A parent or guardian must create their own adult RFU GMS account and link their child to it.
This needs to be completed before your child attends their first session for the RFU's player registration and insurance arrangements.
Important – create one adult account only
The parent or guardian creates the account using their own personal details.
Do not create a separate GMS account for your child. Once your adult account is set up, add or link your child to that account. You will then be able to access and manage their player record and membership.
Set up your RFU GMS account
Please follow these steps in order. The adult creates the account first, then adds their child.
Create your adult account
A parent or guardian must create their own GMS account using their personal details. Please don't create the account in your child's name.
Link your child – don't create another account
Once you're logged in, add or link your child to your existing adult account. Do not create a separate account or login for your child. Linking their record is how you'll view and manage their player registration.

If you already have a GMS account, please log in to that account rather than creating another one. You can then link your child and find our club.
Enjoy your four-week trial!
Come along, meet the coaches and enjoy playing rugby! Our Mini Section offers new players a four-week trial so they can get to know the team and try the sport.
After four weeks – apply for membership
Once your child's trial period is complete, log back into GMS and apply for their club membership.
