**A couple of important notes** ​​​​​​​

*Rippa will be traveling teams only like all other rugby grades for 2024. With the aim of having Year 1 & Year 2 teams. 

*The age of eligibility for Junior Rugby being 5 years old from January 1st 2023. These decisions weren’t made lightly and there was a lot of discussion and feedback around these changes.  They were made with the aim to make Junior Rugby as enjoyable as possible and a positive experience for all players.
