JUNIORS

Our goal is to encourage kids to play rugby, have fun, learn great ball skills and make lifelong friends. Juniors range from ages under 6 to 18.

Why Rugby is a Great Game for Life?

Rugby Union is a game that develops leadership, team spirit, courage, sportsmanship and friendship. These values and traditions develop from the first time a young player shakes hand with their opposite team player at the end of the match.

The key values of the game of rugby consist of Australian pride, teamwork and camaraderie, love of the game, tradition and heritage.

The ethos of rugby has shaped a code of behaviour that has transcended generations since 1823.  …the sport that engages the family and community and strengthens the ties that bind Australia together.
