The Voorburgse Rugby Club currently focuses entirely on youth aged 4 to 17 years. We follow the age groups set by Rugby Netherlands, which are organized in 2-year increments. Rugby is an active sport for boys and girls, and they play in mixed teams.

Matches
For the youngest children, play and enjoyment are essential, so they do not participate in matches yet. The rules are explained playfully. In rugby, children can expend their energy by running and roughhousing.
Starting from the Turven level, informal matches are played with other clubs, gradually introducing the real rugby game. Safety is always a priority! The focus is on enjoying the sport rather than competing in a league.
Older youth from the Cubs level and up participate in competitive matches. Training becomes more geared toward these matches, and the intensity sometimes increases. As players get older, more rugby rules from adult rugby are applied.
