Under 10s - under 12s
Once players reach the Under-10 level, they transition into the Sydney Junior Rugby Union (SJRU) competition. This league brings together teams from across Sydney, with divisions ranging from A to G based on skill level. This grading system ensures that players of similar abilities compete against one another, creating a safer and more enjoyable experience.
To further prioritise player safety, SJRU enforces weight guidelines. Boys who fall outside certain weight limits undergo assessments to ensure they can participate safely.
At the Under-10 and Under-11 levels, teams play with 12 players on a slightly narrower field. While the matches remain fast-paced and competitive, modified rules enhance the experience for both players and spectators.
Games are scheduled on Friday nights or Sundays and take place across Sydney, from beaches to the west.
In the kids final year at harlequins, we run an optional squad tour to Fiji which is great fun for the players and their families.
Once players turn 13, they can go on to join the Manly Savers team, providing a seamless pathway to continue their rugby journey as they grow.

Rugby 7s
A fast-paced and dynamic variation of traditional 15-a-side rugby, the 7s format is designed for players of all ages and skill levels. As the name suggests, each team fields only seven players at a time, with matches lasting just 14 minutes, making for an intense and exciting experience.
The SJRU offers a variety of 7s competitions, including:
Gala Day 7s Competitions – Single or multi-round events played in a gala-style format. These competitions can be purely participatory or include finals and ladders for a competitive element. A designated Venue Manager will be present at each match location, holding the same authority as the Competition Manager to oversee the event.
Home & Away 7s Competitions – A multi-round 7s competition hosted by clubs, with matches integrated into the broader fixture schedule alongside other game formats.
