Mt Roskill RFC SCHOOL PROGRAM 2018

Mt Roskill RFC is working with several schools in the Mt Roskill Region in the hope to build 'school teams' that can play rugby on a Saturday morning in the Auckland Junior Club competitions. The list of schools involved in the program to date is; Dominion Road School, Owairaka School, Mt Roskill Primary School, Three Kings Primary, Wesley Primary School, May Road Primary School. However, if your child goes to a school not listed, you still look to organise a school team with Mt Roskill Rugby. Please contact . The information below outlines much of what you'll need to know about the School/Club program.

It will be alot easier to form teams in Years 1 and 2, because you don't need as many players, and boys AND girls both play Rippa Rugby, more so than tackle rugby. However, if you have enough players to form the team, boys and/or girls, you can enter - see the table below as a guideline.

SCHEDULE / GAMES

The season starts 5th May, but we are looking for confirmation of numbers in our teams by 30 March. The season ends on 25 August, and prize-giving will occur within the month following the final game. Trainings will be once or twice a week (either at the school or on club grounds) with the main game on Saturday morning. Games for Under 6s and Under 7s will be mostly fairly local, with some games as far out west as Henderson. Tackle teams could end up playing from Henderson to Pakuranga - but we always encourage everyone to help out with transport. This is an important part of team-building, with families supporting the team and helping with transport for players who may struggle to otherwise make it to the game.

COSTS

Your school and Mt Roskill RFC will take care of fees, however you will need to supply your child with playing boots - with metal sprigs or plastic moulds, and a mouth guard. There may be shorts and socks to purchase for uniform, depending on the arrangement between various schools and the club, however the playing jerseys will be provided to play in on Saturdays.
