The perfect place for kids to have fun, make friends  and create memories that last a lifetime 

Why Play Rugby at Lindfield?

Looking for an all inclusive sport for your child that burns their abundant energy and keeps them fit, in a social environment!

Rugby is the ultimate team sport, building important life skills such as respect, resilience, personal communication and team work, all in a fun and supportive environment.

The great thing about rugby is that there’s as a spot for every kid on the team, no matter their size, age or experience. Boys & Girls from U4 all the way through to U17 are all welcome, and there has been a surge of girls taking to the field with almost a 50/50 split in schools across Australia.

Information for 2023

  • Rugby is for boys and girls … 

  • The age group you’re in depends on how old you’re turning that year. So players turning 6 in 2023 will be in the under 6's and so on. 

  • Game styles and rules have been modified to suit each age group … under 6's and under 7's is purely non-contact (no tackle).

  •  Games are on Saturday mornings for the under 6's to under 9's (the odd Sunday game) and either Friday evenings or Sunday for under 10's and up.

  • The season finishes at the end of August with no games during school holidays.

  • Your registration fee covers gear, insurances, coaching, competition administration fees and individual player participation fees from Rugby Australia.

  • Each team has a dedicated manager who is one of the team parents. The team manager will communicate important information to you each week including game details etc. They're there to help you with any questions you might have throughout the season.  We would LOVE for you to be involved! 

  • It helps to reduce stress
    Exercise and other physical activity produce endorphins—chemicals in the brain that act as natural painkillers—and also improve the ability to sleep, which in turn reduces stress.
  • Improve physical health
    Starting with the obvious, but rugby brings physical health benefits to anyone who takes to the field – and kids are no different.
  • They need to win
    Because it’s bonding, because it feels good, because they need to know that there are rewards for effort.
  • They will respect others, regardless of their decisions"
    The Rugby field has a strong tradition and culture of respect - respect for your teamates, the opposition and, importantly, the referee. When the referee makes a decision we disagree with, kids still call him “sir” and don’t talk back.
  • Breed academic success
    It’s hard to believe that what your child does on the field can impact what they do in the classroom, but it does. Children who were involved with at least one sport were more likely to get better grades suggests a study conducted by the American College of Sports Medicine.
  • Build self-esteem and confidence
    Regularly engaging in sports can help subtly boost your child’s self-esteem. This happens as the child sets small goals on the field, such as perfecting a skill, and achieves them.
  • They’ll experience the incredible feeling of being part of a team
    They’ll experience the incredible feeling of being part of a team
  • Develop social skills
    Developing social skills is another huge part of parenting, and one that again needs to be developed at a young age if the benefits are to be reaped in the future.
  • Equal Opportunities
    Unlike just about any other team sport, rugby is about all players having the same opportunity to run with the ball, pass the ball, and play defense.
  • Positive Role Models
    It’s quite likely your kids will discover positive role models in coaches and older players.
  • Safety. No, really—safety!"
    Safety is a huge part of the sport and culture of rugby.
  • The passion for the game
    Ask any rugby player what they think about rugby, and, somewhere along the lines of their explanation, they will probably talk about how much they love the game. That's because rugby is not a game to be taken lightly. I think a good way to explain this is to use one nice quote from poet Ralph Waldo Emerson: "Nothing great in life can ever be accomplished without enthusiasm."
  • It could even go somewhere…
    It could even go somewhere…
  • Rugby is for girls too
    For those people who don't know much about rugby, despite the physicality of the sport, rugby is a sport for girls too, and a very entertaining one at that. I mean, it is an Olympic sport - and the Austrlain Girls sevens team won Olympic Gold! So for any girl who wants to find a sport to play, rugby is definitely an magnificent option.
  • They need to lose
    Because it is character building, because it’s good practice for life, because the young kids will get over it and they need to know that.
  • Make lifelong friends
    Rugby is a brotherhood & sisterhood.
  • Everyone is useful somewhere.
    In a sport that is most popularly played with 15 people on the field at one time, there is obviously a wide range of positions that need to be played. And each position comes with different physical requirements. My point is that anyone and everyone has a position in rugby that they are best suited for, and everyone can be helpful to the overall team game plan.
  • Learn valuable life-lessons
    All sports have lessons that can be taken from the field and applied to real life. But rugby has lessons that can’t be found in any other game – we’re not talking about the standard generics of “teamwork” and “playing hard.” We’re talking about the preparation for life that can only be found on the rugby pitch.
  • Is medical insurance included?
    Yes. A portion of your registration fee is used to pay for the ARU Insurance Plan. This plan covers all registered players for injuries whilst engaging in rugby for the club; whether it be at training, during a game or overseas or interstate on a club tour. The insurance coverage is for medical expenses that are not in any way covered by Medicare and after reimbursement from your private health fund. Examples of items covered include; physiotherapy, dental, hire of artificial aids such as splints and crutches, etc. As a club we recommend all players have private health insurance as well.
  • My child wants to play in a higher age group with school friends?
    As a club we discourage this practice due to the potential safety risks of playing against opponents who are a year older. The style of game that each age group plays is tailored to the skills and abilities of that specific age group and from a duty of care perspective, we prefer if players play in their own age group. However, there are exceptions to this rule and requests are assessed individually by the appropriate Vice President and a decision made.
  • I tried registering but I need help?
    Please contact the club Registrar, Lisa Rothwell via email on registrar@lindfieldjuniorrugby.com.au
  • How do I get a NSW Active Kids Voucher to save $100?
    1. Go to https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/active-kids… this is a NSW Government Services portal for all things government. 2. If you have an account then Log In or setup a new account if you’ve never had one. 3. Search for “Active Kids” and follow the prompts to apply. It’s too easy! You will need your Medicare card details for each player you are applying for. 4. Record the voucher number (Service NSW will send you an email with the details too) 5. Then click on the appropriate “Join Today” button above for the player you are registering. When prompted please enter your voucher number.
  • Are all kids in the same team the same age?
    Generally they are. In certain exceptional cases a player might be a year younger than everyone else in the team. For example, you might have an under 9's team where one of the players in the team actually qualifies for the under 8's age group and should technically be in a team in the under 8's. The practice isn’t recommended but it does occur occasionally, particularly when a player has joined the club very young and plays with the same team as they progresses through the years.
  • Can I register first and then get my Active Kids Voucher later?
    No. You must have an Active Kids Voucher BEFORE registering your child. Please have all details with you when going through the registration process as the voucher cannot be applied afterwards.
  • Can I pay the fees in cash or by direct deposit?
    No, unfortunately we cannot accept payments in cash or by direct transfer. You can pay via credit card when you register on the web.
  • How do age groupings work?
    The age group you’re in depends on your age at the start of the year. For example players turning 6 in 2021 will be in the under 6's etc.
  • Do I select my child's age or the team's age group when registering?
    If your child will be playing “up” in an age group above his or her actual age then select the age group for the team they’ll be a part of. For example an under 7 player who will play in an under 8 team should be registered as an under 8 player.
