The Junior section of Alton RFC was formed in the early 1970's and has produced many excellent results and a number of outstanding players. The benefits of this steady but continuous success can now be seen in the senior Club where 6 of the current 1st XV squad started their Rugby with Alton Mini-midi and Junior teams.

During the 30 year history of the Junior section, Alton has produced six England Schools Internationals, countless Hampshire and London Division players. In fact, one of our previous under 7's, Johnny Wilkinson, was a member of the victorious World Cup winning squad in 2003.

As recognition of the excellent standards that have become the norm at the club we were the first club to be awarded the HRFU Seal of Approval on 3rd October 1993 and have since continued to develop our coaching and club management expertise. Alton Junior Rugby also assists local Primary and Secondary Schools in developing rugby within their school system.

With over 300 boys (and girls up to the age of 12) registered between Under 6 through to the Colts the Junior club is growing and moving from success to success. All of our coaches and parent helpers are CRB checked and are guided and developed by our excellent high standard coaching committee lead by the Director of Rugby Tom O’Connor.

We have excellent links with London Irish and regularly host their Masterclasses at Anstey Park as well as attending home fixtures in Reading. The ethos of the Junior section is to provide rugby for all in a fun and equitable way, our aim is to see many smiling faces every Sunday on the players, coaches and parents. This fun element prevails although we coach with the objective of doing our very best competitively.
