Learning the Game, Loving the Game.
Our U12s are a vibrant and energetic group, embracing the journey of rugby with enthusiasm and teamwork. Under the guidance of a dedicated coaching staff, these young players are developing the skills, discipline, and love for the sport that will carry them into the future. With a focus on fun, learning, and friendship, the U12s embody everything we love about junior rugby at Orrell RUFC.

They take on every challenge with enthusiasm and resilience, building the foundation for future success.

Why We Play
