Registration Now Open for The 2025 Season

The United Mini Rugby program plays primarily in the Lower Mainland against other clubs with Mini programs. Players are girls and boys, Kindergarten to Grade 6 (ages 4-12), and are divided by BC Rugby's Age-Grade variations. All teams are planned to be co-ed, but this can change depending on the makeup of the zone teams.

The teams progress from flag rugby at U6/U8/U10 to full contact for U12, with contact being safely introduced at Grade 5 by skilled coaches. Beyond Grade 6, players are eligible to play in our Junior program. Regardless of player age, all mini rugby games are played at the same location each week, making it easy to manage if you have multiple kids in the program. Our club plays September to December and again February/March to May.
