Junior Rugby
Minis – Junior Boys – Girls 10s & 7s
At Forest we like to think of ourselves as the Family Club. We focus on providing a fun environment for players and parents alike. Our goal is to provide a fun and enjoyable environment for kids whilst teaching the basics of Rugby.
We believe in providing a fun environment for kids to play with their mates and develop their rugby skills. Winning is a by-product of this approach, not the driving force behind it.
As a result we pride ourselves on fielding teams in all age groups from Under 6’s to Opens and Girls Rugby 10s & 7s, the only club in our district to do so.
