All teams in any grade must have the same number of players on the field and we encourage players to
play for the opposition team to even up the numbers.

The objective is to have children playing rugby and enjoying the game.

All ages are from the 31/12/2022 and both girls and boys can play in any grade.

Any player can play up 1 grade with the parents and coaches consent.

Dispensations for players will be considered on request via e-mail and will be
dealt with by the CJRS Grading and Dispensation Committee.
