Walla Rugby (Under 7’s & Under 8’s)
The first step a young player takes in a real game situation. Played on a modified field, it’s a simple, two-handed tag introduction to rugby that concentrates on passing, catching and team skills.
Mini Rugby (Under 9’s & Under 10’s).
Continues the themes of running and passing taught in Walla Rugby. Importantly, however, it introduces young players to the contact elements of tackling, rucks and mauls – all in a safe and controlled way.
Midi Rugby (Under 11’s & Under 12’s).
The 12-a-side stepping stone to the full game. It is played on a slightly smaller than standard size field with more elements of the Australian Rugby Union’s Under 19 Law Variations introduced. It continues the theme and principles of Mini Rugby with a greater emphasis on the contest for possession.
Maxi Rugby (Under 13’s & Under 16’s).
This is the full version of the game. To promote and ensure safety in contact situation, however, it conforms strictly with the Australian Rugby Union’s Under 19 Law Variations.
