Junior Rugby at the Hawks

A safe, fun, and supportive environment where kids aged 5 to 17 build skills, friendships, and confidence through rugby.

Programs for Every Age

From first-timers to experienced players, we have a program designed for every stage of development.

Minis (U6-U7)

Ages 5-6

A fun introduction to rugby. Non-contact skill games, running, and teamwork in a safe environment. Sessions focus on coordination, confidence, and making friends.

Juniors (U8-U13)

Ages 7-12

Progressive introduction to contact rugby with modified rules. Players develop core skills, game sense, and a love for the sport with age-appropriate coaching.

Youth (U14-U18)

Ages 13-17

Competitive youth rugby with full rules. Strength and conditioning, tactical development, and pathways to representative rugby for players ready to step up.

Why Families Choose the Hawks

Safety First

All coaches hold current accreditations and Blue Cards. Age-appropriate rules and qualified first aiders at every session.

Inclusive Community

Every child is welcome regardless of ability. We focus on participation, development, and making sure every player gets game time.

Fun at the Core

Our sessions are designed to be enjoyable. Kids who have fun come back, improve naturally, and build lasting friendships.

Skill Development

Structured coaching programs that develop running, passing, tackling, and game awareness progressively through each age group.

Values-Led

Respect, teamwork, and sportsmanship are taught alongside rugby skills. We build character as well as players.

Convenient Schedule

Saturday morning training and games keep weekday evenings free for families. Season runs from April to September.

What to Expect

Junior rugby is a team effort. Parents take turns helping on game day with canteen, set-up, and scoring on a simple rotating roster. It is low-commitment and our volunteer coordinators make it easy.

New players can attend a few training sessions before committing to registration. Just bring a water bottle, mouthguard, and boots — we will take care of the rest.

Our season runs from April to September with training on Saturday mornings and games on Saturday afternoons. Check our training schedule for specific times by age group.
