Our junior rugby club is open to girls and boys aged 5 to 18, and we offer a safe, inclusive, and welcoming environment for young athletes to learn and develop their rugby skills. We field teams from Under 8 through to Under 18 in the Hunter Junior Rugby Union competition, including girls-only teams in the under 14 and under 16 age groups and our Under 7’s inter club competition held at Marcellin Park is highly regarded for its quality coaching and player development.
