Age Grades

Youth U13-U18

Youth Rugby is about teaching the U19 law form of the game and guiding players on their performance pathway. The law variations continue the progression from the U6-U12 Pathway through to providing opportunities for Junior Representative Teams.

The pathway is to provide players with the opportunity to learn by trying it for themselves and the stages through this age range are stepped to allow for progressive development of every individual. Games are designed to develop individual skills, fitness and teamwork of all players in accordance with their age and understanding of the game.

*Competition Dates: Saturday May 1 – Saturday 4 September, 2021
