The Junior Heavies Girls rugby program is a brand-new initiative designed to provide teenage girls with a positive and inclusive rugby experience. Open to both new and experienced rugby players, Junior Heavies Girls offers expert coaching, skill development, and a supportive environment where players can grow, have fun, and build lasting friendships.
Supported by UQ Rugby Club, this program provides a genuine pathway for young players to continue into senior women’s rugby. As we say – once a Heavy, always a Heavy!
Benefits Of Being a JUNIOR HEAVY
- A genuine pathway for junior rugby players to progress to senior rugby at one of Australia’s most prominent and successful rugby clubs - University of Queensland Rugby Club.
- Amazing home training and playing fields at Graceville Memorial Park (home of the UQ Juniors), as well as annual game days at the UQ St. Lucia Campus.
- Access to a Junior High Performance Coaching Camp at St. Lucia during school holidays.
- In 2025, the Club will take several teams on a Tour of Northern NSW, playing games against local junior rugby teams.
