Under 6s to Under 12s

Ever dreamt of being the next Wallaby like Israel Folau, Quade Cooper or Adam Ashley-Cooper?
Well the Try Rugby Kids Pathway has been designed especially to help get you started and on your way to a lifelong involvement in this great game called Rugby Union.

AIM AND PHILOSOPHYThe aim of the TryRugby Kids Pathway for U6 to U12 players is to provide a series of age-specific modified rugby games. These modified rugby games progressively develop the individual skills, fitness and team work of all players in accordance with their physical maturity and understanding of the game. 
 
What are the benefits?
 
The Kids Pathway for U6 to U12 players has been developed to:

• Increase activity levels for maximum participation and enjoyment.
• Meet the developmental needs of young Rugby players in line with the safety focus of the modern game.
• Provide an integrated and consistent approach to the development of U6 to U12 players, coaches and referees across the country from 2011 and beyond.

Under 13 - U19

In Australia all 13 – 19 year olds play to modified laws designed to make the game safer and more enjoyable. These Australian U19 Law Variations continue the progression from the Kid’s Pathway (U6 – U12) through to junior representative opportunities at local club, school and regional levels.
In this age range the priority is to provide the players with opportunities to learn by trying it for themselves and the stages through this age range are stepped to allow for progressive development of every individual.
From U13 – U19 rugby games are intended to further develop the individual skills, fitness and team work of all players in accordance with their age and understanding of the game.
