At Hadleigh RFC, we’re proud to provide a Mini and Youth division – an inclusive, fun, and enjoyable introduction to rugby for children aged 5 to 16. Our mission is to create a supportive environment where every child can learn, grow, and love the game.
As players progress into their teenage years, they are invited to join our Colts team, offering a clear pathway into senior rugby and eventually our First XV.

Hadleigh Tennis Club
Introduction
Hadleigh tennis club is one of the oldest in the country and can trace its origins back to 1881, when a newspaper article recorded that it was involved in a tournament played between Bildeston and Hadleigh tennis clubs. (Hadleigh won the match 4 sets to 2 and this match is now an annual event between the two clubs). In 1988, the club moved from the town centre to its current site at the Layham Road Sports Grounds, where it hires 3 hardcourts from the Town Council for members to play on.
