On joining Wanderers Rugby Juniors your child is placed into a team environment where there is an emphasis on developing sports and life skills including commitment, respect, discipline, sportsmanship, leadership, determination, self confidence, courage and teamwork. All junior coaches are Smart Rugby accredited and have passed the New South Wales State Government’s mandatory Working with Children check.
Our purpose is to provide junior rugby players with opportunities for fun inclusive participation, skill development, and encouragement to play and compete in the local junior competition, as well as support through further rugby pathways.
Our aims are:
  • To provide a club structure with all age groups thus maintaining a sense of loyalty and belonging for all junior players as they move through the grades.
  • To ensure that players receive the best possible training with quality equipment.
  • To develop a consistent approach to the skills development of our junior players by the development of a junior coaching panel of experienced coaches headed by a Coaching Coordinator.
  • To encourage and ensure the smooth transition of junior players into our senior ranks.
  • To provide a safe and supportive environment for all children playing Rugby Union within the club.

Players from U6 to 12 play a series of age-specific modified rugby games following the Rugby Australia Kids Pathway Laws (see image below). These modified rugby games progressively develop the individual skills, fitness and team work of all players in accordance with their physical maturity and understanding of the game.
