  • Under 5s: Focusing on fun and introductory skills through age-specific training activities, with no competition games.
  • Contact Rugby begins from Under 8s
  • OzTag rules apply for Under 6s & Unders 7s.

Each team is guided by a dedicated coach (focused on training and game performance) and manager (handling logistics and communication), roles often filled by supportive parents. For older teams, independent coaches may also be appointed.

TryTime Rugby also assist with training, skills, coach the coaches, as well as best practice drills for developing our children through the right age groups.

With over 10 teams in Minis and 13 in Juniors, Chatswood Rugby provides the structure, community, and opportunities to help kids grow both on and off the field. Whether they’re just starting or looking to take their skills to the next level, we’re here to support every player’s journey both on and off the pitch.
