Structure
Senior sections: the senior section has up to three teams who play regularly. There is currently no women’s senior squad.
Junior section: split into Minis and Juniors. The Minis accepts children from Reception to Year 6 (U6s to U11s). These are mixed and play in line with RFU Age Grade rugby (touch rugby up to and including U8s, and then contact from U9s to U11s). The Junior section splits into boys' and girls' squads with the boys having teams from U12 to U16s and the Colts, and the girls having U12s, U14, U16 and U18s groupings. This is in line with RFU Age Grade rugby.
Charitable rugby: the club works in conjunction with charities and private coaches to train students at sixth form colleges in Salisbury and the surround area to have a Salisbury 6th Form Colleges team (in a Barbarians RFC-like set up). This initiative is endorsed by Mike Brown.
