Caboolture Rugby follows the Rugby AU Junior Rugby Player Pathway employing modified versions of the game with subtle changes and inclusions as players develop, from U4/5 development through to U13+ competition rules and games.
As the first introduction to the game, our Little Snakes program is designed to give 4 and 5 year olds an opportunity to find their feet, their hands and their voice through variety of gross motor skills. Running, Kicking, Jumping, Catching and Passing are all vital parts of a child’s development. The Development Squad is a training only team. Caboolture Rugby is proud to have one of the best programs on offer for this age group.
U6-7 Rugby is played on a modified field to cater for the young age group, ensuring that each player will experience maximum involvement. It is a simple, non-tackling introduction to the game.
