Juniors - Age U12
Junior Rugby – Under 12
Under 12 represents the full transition into traditional 15-a-side Rugby Union. Building on the foundations developed through Minis and earlier Junior years, players now compete with full team numbers, expanded positional roles and increased tactical awareness.
This level places a strong emphasis on structured team play, decision-making under pressure and developing the technical skills required for senior rugby pathways.
