IMPLEMENTATION FOR WEIGHT RESTRICTED GRADES
Please click here to be taken to the Bay of Plenty Rugby Weight Restriction Format Information. Please note that the play down weight for the U12 grade, the weight limit has been changed to 48kg.
The WBOP Junior Rugby Committee introduced weight restricted grades in the 2018 season. This is for various reasons including:
- General Health & Safety - large players vs small players causing injury
- Loss of players - small players leaving the game due to fare of injury or playing against much larger players.
All clubs will hold registration/weigh in's during a two week period in March where an independent delegate will be on hand to check and verify player weights.
No player shall be required to move up more than one grade, and would not be eligable to move down more than one grade.
