Dragons Rugby Club - Under 9's Years Old

The Dragon's U9 Squad are passionate about having fun and as U9s they continue the transition from touch to contact rugby. Some of the boys and girls have played contact rugby for a full year, others are just learning the basics. Either way, we will focus on making contact rugby safe and fun for all of our young Dragons.  Players are taught the correct technique to tackle in a safe and controlled environment, by IRB trained and experienced coaches. The concept of a ruck and maul is introduced as players are taught how to contest the ball at the tackle. The U9 squad is a mix of players who started in the U5’s through to kids who didn’t know what a Rugby ball was until they joined this year.

Our goal as coaches is to give the kids the skills and the love of the game that will keep them playing and enjoying rugby for the rest of their lives.

Our Dragons participate in Singapore mini-rugby leagues throughout the year, as well as competitive tournaments both within Singapore and overseas so there is plenty of rugby to enjoy over the season which runs from January to December.

The coaches are all volunteer Dads, with kids on the squad, who are passionate about sport and have completed International Rugby Board (IRB) Coaching and Referee Certifications or other recognised coaching/training qualifications.

Kids are welcome to come to trial classes before committing, so they can get comfortable with their fellow Dragons.  Training is every Saturday at UWC East playing field, if you’d like to come for a trial, please arrive 10 minutes prior to training start.
