 Kids 2 Kiwis
Did you know that there are two sets of modified rules for Junior Rugby League in New Zealand?
Six to nine year olds and ten to twleve year olds both play modified rules to ensure their safety when playing rugby league. So the game that our Junior players take part in is a far cry from what you see in the NRL competition.
At a Junior level rugby league in New Zealand, the focus is on safety and fun.
Mini Rugby League rules apply to those children in the 6 - 9 year old bracket, while the Modified Rugby League rules apply to those children in the 10 - 12 year old bracket. There are also Codes of Conduct for all participants in rugby league played in New Zealand.
The 2009 Kids 2 Kiwis campaign was kicked off at Henham Park in Auckland on 01 February - click here to see photos from that day, and also the Kids 2 Kiwis activities that the NZRL Districts organised for the rollout of Kids 2 Kiwis in their areas.
