The Australian Rugby Player Pathway for players aged six to twelve years has been in existence for 20 years.  The aim of the new Kids Pathway for U6 to U12 players is to provide a series of age-specific modified rugby games. These modified rugby games progressively develop the individual skills, fitness and team work of all players in accordance with their physical maturity and understanding of the game.
The philosophy of the new Kids Pathway for U6 to U12 players is child-centred and ensures all players receive the greatest possible participation and enjoyment from playing the game of Rugby.
