What does this program look like?
The program is for girls who wish to learn, play, and develop their rugby. This may be their first year, they may have a few years of rugby already, or they may be looking to return to the game.
Each month, we will come together in a group environment to:
Learn the game's aspects and concepts. Balancing our lives and promoting the reason we play and enjoy the game in the first place.
Plan our fundraising and trip, and support each of us to get there.
Train as a team, developing our own game style and learning to work as small teams to achieve large
results.
Outside of the group environment, we help players with their rugby development. When they want to improve a skill or are having trouble in an area, we will be there to guide them and keep them engaged.
“Train smarter, not harder”
Program Approach
The 2025 team was made up of players from across the region, from Mahurangi to Northcote to Waikato.
This was not a team of rep players, but rather a group of players who wanted to play and learn rugby.
The BIg Dance
In April 2027, we will travel to Portugal to play in the Rugby Youth Festival tournament.
This tournament attracts 120 teams, and it will be in its 18th year, where we will be entering the 15-a-side U18 Girls competition.
This will be our time to come together as one group of like-minded players, playing together and experiencing the unique environment of a travelling sports team.
The tour will start by landing in France, where we will travel to play a warm-up match. From there, we will travel to Lisbon and the tournament.
On our travels, we will meet a whole new group of like-minded girls from another part of the world. We will look to train, share meals and make new friends.
