Junior Rugby

Junior Boys Rugby

At Forest Rugby we believe in providing a fun environment for kids to play with their mates and develop their rugby skills. Wining 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, the only club in our district to do so.

Forest Rugby In The Community

Forest Rugby is dedicated to making a difference in our community.  Our charity partners are carefully selected with two main criteria in mind.  We target charities that dedicate themselves to supporting the vulnerable and helping to cause change in areas of social importance plus ensuring our funds can be dedicated to programs directly operating in our local community.  Whilst no doubt Rugby is a key focus of the Club, the Committee is passionate about its role and responsibility to contribute more broadly to our community and society in general.

This weeks spotlight is on Oliver Docker and his business XPhysio.

Most of us know him as Oli, the amazing physio that has helped so many Forest rugby players recover from injury and get back on the paddock and doing what they love – playing rugby! Despite seeing Oli or any of his team from XPhysio on the sidelines over many years now and knowing him for his outstanding expertise as a physio, what many of you may not know is his incredible generosity and support as a sponsor of the Club.

XPhysio leads the way with accurate diagnosis and comprehensive treatment plans that include hands on therapy and exercise prescription. They employ highly skilled Physiotherapists and Exercise Physiologists dedicated to well-being, rapid recovery, and lasting sustainable health journeys with personalised care. Oli’s passion is personalised care that aims to empower his patients to achieve their goals through strength, mobility and education.

Oli has gone above and beyond to support the Club and all the individuals within the Club who have experienced injury over many years. The best way the entire Forest Rugby Community can say thank you and show how much we appreciate this support is to access his services through his practice. We all have the need to see a physio from time to time. Why not go and see Oli and his team at XPhysio where you know you will receive high quality services and more importantly, opinions you can trust. XPhysio is located Within Plus Fitness Gym Allambie Grove Business Park, 11/25 Frenchs Forest Rd East, Frenchs Forest. Or call 9806 3077 #forestrugby25
