INTRODUCTION TO RUGBY UNION

Rugby Union is a fun and social game where boys and girls can compete equally up until the under 11s age group. 

Junior players follow the rugby pathway of modified games. The games have been specially adapted to be more suitable for the player's age, physical capability, skill level and previous experience.

Walla Rugby. Under 7 years - The first step a young player takes in a real game situation. Played on a modified field with 7 players per team, it's a simple, non-tackling introduction to the game that concentrates on passing, receiving, running and evasion as well as team skills.

Mini Rugby. Under 8 - 9 years - Continues the theme of running and passing taught in Walla Rugby.  Importantly, however, this 10-a-side version introduces the young players to the contact elements of tackling, rucks and mauls - all in a safe, controlled way.

Midi Rugby. Under 10 - 11 years – The 12-a-side stepping stone to the full game. It is played on a standard size field with more elements of Under 19 Rugby introduced. It continues the theme and principles of Mini Rugby with a greater emphasis on the contest for possession.

Under 19 Laws. 12 - 17 years – For 12 years and above, kids enjoy playing the full 15-a-side game.

LOCATION

Ourimbah Rugby Park is located on Chittaway Road behind the Ourimbah University Campus.
