Whether its as an Under 12 Dragon or representing your country in the Six Nations, the game of Rugby focuses on five core values - Teamwork, Respect, Enjoyment, Discipline and Sportsmanship.

Age Grade Rugby

The game of Rugby is governed by the Rugby Football Union (RFU).  Age Grade Rugby is the game for all players aged 6 – 18 in clubs, schools, colleges and includes the rules of play for each age group helping children progress over many years to the professional men's and women's game.

​

It is based on the principles of player centred development which puts the wants and needs of children at its heart.
