🎨⚽️ YATE UNITED MASCOT COMPETITION ⚽️🎨

We’re excited to officially launch the search for the very first Yate United mascot! 🔴⚫️

This is your chance to design a mascot that represents our club, our values, and our community ❤️

The winning mascot could become part of Yate United’s identity for years to come — appearing across social media, matchdays, graphics, merchandise and more!

💡 HOW TO ENTER:
Each player entering will need to submit:

✏️ A drawing/design of their mascot
📛 A mascot name
📝 A short description explaining the mascot and what it represents

Please also include:
• Player name
• Team/age group

To keep things simple and easy for everyone, all entries will be collected through team managers/coaches, who will then send them over digitally.

The competition is open to ALL age groups across the club 🙌

As well as being a fun club-wide competition, the mascot will also help provide a safeguarding-friendly alternative for social media content where player photos cannot be used.

📅 Closing date for all entries:
30th June 2026

Get creative and help shape the future of Yate United! 🔥

🔵🟡 Jon Santer 🔵🟡

Our second team manager/coach joined us only this season and was a massive part our second xv success achieving promotion. With the team scoring the most points in a single season, conceding less and won the most amount of games. A little bit of history making and only the second coach to come in and gain promotion in their first season.

Jon has built a great culture with the second xv and brought a togetherness which has resulted in players enjoying their rugby and a winning mentality.

Jon not only lead our 2s but also lead our first xv to victories over Chipping Sodbury, in the clubs first ever league meeting between 1st teams, Ashley Down in the quarter final of the cup and Old Sulians away with a mixed squad, all memorial matches.

🏑 Back to Hockey is back!

Join us every Wednesday evening from 7–8pm for a fun and friendly session to get back into hockey. Whether you’ve been away from the game for a while, just want to get active again, or are totally new to the sport, everyone is welcome!
