Under 12 - Play as a Team

The U12 program is open to both Boys and Girls of all experience levels and focuses on development of a coherent team identity. We will try a few different styles of play throughout the season and learn the pros/cons of each strategy so the team can actively adjust to the flow of matches.

Training will start in mid-October 2026 and will include a couple friendly matches and jamboree weekends before our first competitive match in January. Match play will continue through February and culminate in a couple tournaments at the end of the season.

INCLUDED WITH EVERY U12 REGISTRATION:

  • Free rugby ball

  • Free Training Kit (Tech Tee and Rugger Shorts)
