JUNIOR REGISTRATIONS

PAREMATA PLIMMERTON JUNIORS 2023 SEASON!!


We welcome all new and returning tamariki, coaches & volunteers to our club!

We make every effort to balance our teams across each grade to ensure that each team has a similar experience and enjoys the sport.

The emphasis at a junior level is on having fun in a safe and supportive environment. 

With our fantastic grounds at Ngāti Toa, and our newly refurbished clubhouse we hope to help provide tamariki with many fond memories of their junior rugby experience.

So if you're keen to get your tamariki involved please register online via the junior regos link, make the required payment and if need be order your playing shorts and socks.


For the WRFU junior 2023 season the grades structure will follow the changes made in 2022.  This has moved towards school year groups – this is also inline with many other sports eg. cricket, netball and all regions will move towards this structure in 2024.

An addition to the 2022 grades is that both Year 3 and Year 4 tackle grades will be open weight.

​​​​​​​

  • Nursery - Skills and Drills for under 5 year olds held at Ngāti Toa domain on Saturday mornings at 9am.
  • Year 1 and 2 Rippa Rugby - non contact rugby where players develop ball skills, basic attack/defence and playing as a team.  Saturday morning games are played anywhere between Waikanae and Tawa.
  • Year 3-8 Combined Rip-Rugby - is a good option for players new to rugby or those who prefer non-contact rugby.  Games are played in Porirua and Paraparaumu on a late Friday afternoon. 
  •  Year 3-4 - players learn to tackle, attack/defence and playing as a team of 8(Y3) or 10 (Y4) in an open weight grade in the Wellington Western Bays competition.  Saturday morning games are played anywhere between Waikanae and Tawa.

Each of the grades will then be split into pools throughout the season and Saturday morning games are played anywhere in the Wellington region.

Please note: Due to the Fifa Womens World Cup taking place in 2023 utilising many grounds around the region its likely more than the usual Friday night games may take place.
