Secondary School Girls Rugby

U15 Girls Competition 2021

This grade has been created on the back of the successful Friday Night series ran in 2019. The U15 Girls is a club based competition running on Friday nights during the rugby season. Our target for this grade is your year 9 and 10 students who are better suited in an age-specific grade. Learning rugby at this age supports the player's development and supports a base for future grades.

Key Info:

• The season date is 14 May 2021
• Home and away fixtures (where possible)
• 4:30 pm – 5:30 pm kick-offs
• Schools can affiliate under a club banner
• 10 a side (Although the game can be flexible and open to modified)

If your school is not already affiliated to a club but you would like to enter into this grade, please contact Megan Grayson - Female Rugby Manager megan.grayson@aucklandrugby.co.nz  or Jarrod Syman - Rugby Experience & Schools Manager jarrod.syman@aucklandrugby.co.nz
