Mini rugby teams are selected by age with a child's primary class number deciding what team the play for. As an example a child in Y6 at school will play for the U11 team.

Mini Rugby starts at U7 and finishes at U12. Once children leave the U12 age group they progress onto the first year of junior rugby, the U13s. Children in Y2 & 3 (U7 & 8s) play "Tag Rugby' (non contact) which emph asises fun and fitness as much as Rugby. From Y4-Y7 (U9-U12) each year group usually trains separately with their own coaches and equipment although from time to time older mini groups will train together to help develop the skills of the younger players.
