JUNIOR PLAYER PATHWAY  

The Junior Player Pathway Modified Games consist of Walla, Mini and Midi (outlined below) which resemble the adult form of Rugby from which they derive. They have been specially adapted to be more suitable for the player's stage of life, physical capability, health status, skill level and previous experience. With an emphasis on sportsmanship, fair play and safety, girls and boys are given the opportunity to develop their sporting skills and confidence. These forms of Rugby provide an appropriate learning environment for appropriate age groups that stimulates interest and maximises participation.

Why should my child be involved in the Junior Player Pathway?*

  • The Junior Player Pathway provides kids with a safe and enjoyable introduction to the skills and tactical principles of the game of rugby union;
  • Irrespective of size, body shape or ability, players are given the opportunity to reach their potential in a caring, fun and safe environment;
  • Pathway games provide the basic skills and understanding of set plays through the modified scrum, maul and lineout situations;
  • The desirable qualities of rugby - sportsmanship and fair play - are positively rewarded, with minimal emphasis on competition;

With your support, you will see your child's coordination, confidence, self-esteem and social skills improve immensely in a very short period of time. This will help to provide a good basis of health, fitness and motor skills for future years.

CONGRATULATIONS to ALL 2010 Registered players. Enjoy being a 'Dirty Red'
