We are Southwark Tigers!
We'll see you all in August!
It’s been a long and intense season and it has now come to and end.
We’ve faced different challenges, played in different pitches – The Cage, Burgess Park, Kings’ College, Peckham Rye Park and...virtually! – but despite everything, we’ve always created a purposeful and learning environment for the players.
Our great family is growing every week and we can’t wait to restart the activity in August.
Before that, we must say...thank you!
Thank you, to every player who comes down willing to learn.
Thank you, to every coach, who tirelessly supports our young people’s development.
Thank you, to every family, who gives us confidence and strength to carry on improving.
We'll see you all soon!
We are Southwark Tigers.
Ordinary training session with the Tigers!
Mental Health Awareness Week 2021!
We can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel, but looking after our mental well-being is still crucial.
During the Mental Health Awareness Week 2021, the Tigers’ coaching team has offered wisdom and kindness, supporting our online Mental Health programme.
Southwark Tigers Rugby Club offers an online support service for young people and adults who wants to reach out and stay in touch with us.
What do we do to look after ourselves?
I listen to my son.
Pushpa, Southwark Tigers coach
I listen to classical music, exercise and slow in/out breathing to relax!
A walk in the park is good for the mind and just listen and look to all nature around you.
Michael, Southwark Tigers coach
I find routine is comforting to hold onto.
Be nice to yourself if you are feeling low.
Maggie, Southwark Tigers Women coach
I make time to reflect on the wonderful things we have done as a family.
I look through my journal to reaffirm my self.
I don't listen to the news.
I do sport.
I eat my favourite meals.
I sit with the family.
I watch science videos.
I listen to talks.
Laurence, Southwark Tigers coach
Come down to Peckam Rye Park!
The season is almost over but the Tigers’ family hasn’t finished to play rugby.
Until the end of May our coaching team will be delivering rugby sessions at Peckam Rye Park (34 Straker's Rd, London SE15 3UA) from 10am to 12pm.
From the under 6 to the under 16, the activity is completely free. If you'd like to know more about the rugby sessions, feel free to get in touch.
Everyone is welcome!
We are Southwark Tigers. You should come and join us!
Easter with the Irish.
What a great success!
Two days full of rugby, fun and enjoyment! During the Easter Break Southwark Tigers has welcomed more than 70 young players for the Easter Camp run by the London Irish.
For the club, it has been the very first rugby camp ever and a great opportunity for a lot of players to stay active during the school break.
Thanks to the London Irish coaches, the players have been able to develop their rugby skills, focusing on specific rugby situations on the pitch in a learning and enjoyable environment.
Communication and teamwork have been just some of the soft skills the children have worked on during the activity, alongside the opportunity to develop their rugby background.
Southwark Tigers Rugby Club and London Irish have been amazed to see how the young players have interacted during the Easter Camp and how engaged they’ve been during the trainings.

Bromley Festival - teaming up with Kings for Barbarians Teams
Great Sunday of rugby for the Tigers!
Southwark Tigers had 4 teams in action at the Bromley festival - U8s, U9s, U10 and U11s. Against all the big clubs - Whitgiftians, Elthamians, Sidcup, Bromley, Colfeans, Dunstonians etc - we did really well. We won more matches than we lost and I think James' U9s won 4 of his 5 matches. It was great to work with the coaches from Kings College Pirates and share players. Also well done to Elaine who reffed the youngest teams at a tournament. It was a longer festival than anticipated and we didn't get back until 3:45pm!
U12s - Ed and Cliff went to Elthamians for the Foxbury Festival, and despite being short of many experienced players left the tournament undefeated!
At home Freddie ran the coaching for the U13/14/15s - we had about 16 players turn up and be involved in a very productive training session.
Well done everybody.
Also a big hug to Mags who is recovering from knee surgery and will soon be back running the women and girls rugby at Tigers.
