Juniors
Boys and girls from Under 7s to Under 18s, plus the Beaches Breakers program.
Southern Beaches Junior Rugby is a proud and growing part of our club, providing boys and girls of all abilities with the opportunity to learn, play and develop their rugby in a supportive club environment.
In 2026, our junior program fielded 150 players across six teams from Under 7s through to Under 16s, with a clear goal of continuing to grow and ultimately field teams across every junior age group.
While winning is never the only measure of success, 2026 has been a particularly special season for our juniors. Our Under 13 Girls, Under 14 Boys and Under 16 Boys all progressed through to the semi-finals, demonstrating the talent, commitment and hard work being developed throughout our junior program.
Our Under 14 Boys enjoyed an outstanding season, finishing as minor premiers before going on to claim the major premiership, a fantastic achievement for the players, coaches and families involved.
But junior rugby at Southern Beaches is about more than results. It’s about creating lifelong friendships, developing confidence and resilience, learning the values of teamwork and respect, and giving young players a pathway to continue their rugby within our club.
We are committed to investing in our juniors, supporting our coaches and volunteers, and creating an environment where every young player can feel part of the Southern Beaches family.
Coaches and managers
2027 junior coaches and managers will be listed here once confirmed.
Beaches Breakers
Beaches Breakers aims to provide young players with a fun, inclusive and positive introduction to rugby union (and sport in general), where every child feels welcome and involved.
The program focuses on building confidence, developing fundamental rugby skills and encouraging teamwork, while creating a strong sense of connection to the club and community.
Above all, our ethos is about enjoyment, participation and fostering a lifelong love of rugby union and sport, in a safe and supportive environment.
2026 will be our 3rd season for Beaches Breakers and again we have over 100 registered participants.
Sessions will be held on Friday afternoons from 5-545pm from 23rd October until 27th November.
Supported Places Program
Every afternoon our fields are full of local kids just hanging around and kicking a ball with mates. Every time we would ask them to come and register to play with us – the answer was always the same. We can’t afford it!
Then in 2022 we started working with Wiripaang Primary school introducing Rugby Union skills into the school. These were the same kids. Good kids. Talented kids. Kids trying hard at school and kids that just needed the financial help to afford weekend sports!
With this, Supported Places was born
The Supported Places Program has been created by SBRU to help those in financial hardship access resources and equipment to participate and engage in the sport of Rugby. The program is also utilised to recognise and support those who make representative teams who require further financial commitments to play at higher levels. With the help of our sponsorship partners, we aim to achieve these goals and help give back to the local community.
Sponsorships allow for funded registrations, provided boots, transport, mouthguards and meals. So far under the scheme we have welcomed 15 new club members from the local community. We have seen them grow in skill and confidence, make new friends and become valuable team members.
The SBRU Supported Places Program will see over $10,000 donated by the club through our sponsorship partner, who will share the name of the program so long as they remain a sponsor e.g. – (Southern Beaches Sponsor Supported Places Program).
