Age Grade Rules

Rugby is a game for everyone; all ages, levels of experience and body types. Children can prosper through rugby in an environment where having fun, learning and building confidence are prioritised.

A bespoke set of Age Grade Law Variations (AGLVs) for the girls youth game were introduced in 2019-20, following the same principles of developing an enjoyable and inclusive game. The AGLVs provide a game play environment that allows players to learn the skills of Rugby Union in a progressive manner, eventually building towards the 15-a-side game.

Below are listed the Age Grade Law Variations for each year group.
