Under 9 Mixed
Welcome to U9 Mixed Rugby
At this exciting level, players aged 8 and 9 begin to experience more structured gameplay with the introduction of contact elements, such as tackling, in a controlled and safe environment. U9 rugby focuses on developing key skills like tackling, passing, running, and teamwork, while also emphasizing safety and sportsmanship. Players continue to build on the foundations laid in earlier stages, learning more about the rules and flow of the game. Through engaging drills, team play, and friendly matches, U9 rugby provides a fun and supportive space for young athletes to grow in skill and confidence as they advance on their rugby journey.
