Age Grade rugby returns

New Age Grade Rugby seasons starts this weekend 

After the disruption of the last two seasons, it’s fantastic to be able to get our age grade players back pitching up for rugby!

Please read and share our Age Grade Changes document which is available here It provides information for clubs, schools and colleges to help understand the updates and how to apply them to the regulations for the season.

Resources to help players reconnect, be confident and enjoy their rugby safely, on and off the pitch, are available on our Summer Activity page. These are also relevant to the whole season due to the progressions missed in the last 18 months.

Resources include Age Grade Specific, Girls Specific (U13/15/18), Return to Scrummaging and Age Grade to Adult Transition guidance.

Age Grade Affiliation

We know many clubs will start their annual registration and membership processes this weekend.  A significant number have already done so, with over 18,000 players already completing their Age Grade Affiliation, which is excellent.

Further improvements have been made to help parents and club volunteers with the annual online Affiliation process for all age grade club players, including easier use on mobile devices.  Please see the Age Grade Affiliation guides and support on the Help Portal here.

We will keep the updates coming.  All the best for the Age Grade 2021-22 season!
