TryRugby Kids Pathway
What’s new?
The Australian Rugby Player Pathway for players aged six to twelve years has been in existence for 20 years. In 2009 the ARU undertook research in order to test whether the model was still best suited to its participants and if needed, to recommend changes based on this research to make it more suitable for younger players and their development.
Aim and philosophy of the new Kids Pathway
The aim of the new 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.
The philosophy of the new Kids Pathway for U6 to U12 players is child-centred and ensures all players receive the greatest possible participation and enjoyment from playing the game of Rugby.
Why the change?
The new Kids Pathway has been developed to:
- Increase activity levels for maximum participation and enjoyment.
- Meets 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.
What’s different?
The new Kids Pathway for U6 to U12 players incorporates small-sided games with fewer players on the field, and law applications that promote attacking play. This guarantees every player more opportunities to carry the ball, run into space, support team-mates and score tries. As a result players will gain improved skills, a greater sense of achievement and higher levels of enjoyment.
