mini rugby
Youth contact sport
Mini rugby is a simplified version of rugby union designed for children, typically ages 5 to 12.
The game uses smaller teams, a smaller pitch, and modified rules—less physical contact, no contested scrums, and shorter playing time.
The adaptations introduce young players to rugby's fundamentals while prioritizing safety and fun: My son started mini rugby at age six.
