Comps for Girls
Minis Competition - u6 to u9
Girls and boys play together in under 5s to under 7s in non-contact 7 a side rugby. In the under 8s and u9s tackling is introduced safely into games.
Juniors Competition - u10 - u12
Girls and boys can continue to play together in mixed teams without any restrictions in the first three years of the junior competition. This season usually runs from April to August and is played on a combination of Friday nights and/or Sunday. Training night is dependent on the age group but is either Tuesday or Thursday.
There may be some opportunities for girls only from u10 to u12 in a girls only competition however girls will most likely need to choose whether they play mixed or girls only as the competitions will often be run on the same day and may be at same time and/or different venues.
From 2025, girls who turn 13 and older will be required to play in an all girls team. Previously under the SJRU rules, girls were able to play in the mixed junior teams with various gender and age/size dispensation. This has ended other than cases where special permission can be obtained from the SJRU.
Girls only teams - Juniors u12 - u18 (opens)
Winter season - 7 to 15 players a side
"Game on principals". When playing a team with less than 15 girls plays either side can only have on the field the number of players available in the smallest team. Minimum of 7 players. This caters for smaller clubs and teams. Howerver most successful teams usually field 18 to 23 players most weeks.
We are super excited to see a full winter competition for the girls and hope to see not only 7s players expanding their skill base in the larger traditional rugby format but our girls that love the XVs technical components of the game, getting an opportunity to train and build fitness to stay on the paddock for 40 to 50 minute games! If you have only ever played 7s at school - you need to give this one a go!
7s rugby
Most girls will only have the opportunity to play a 7s rugby season through elite private schools. Selection for the State Championships 7s will be largely completed from this private school competition. Additional invitational 7s teams, run through a cooperation between elite private schools and NSW Rugby, are also selected largely from here.
Players not selected for higher honours will be offered a chance to play in a four-week summer 7s competition. This will be conducted after all selections have been made for all representative teams.
