Minis

Dural’s focus in the minis is to promote a fun and inclusive environment for these young players to make new friends, enjoy playing and learn the fundaments and foundations for the sport.

The U6-U9 age groups play in Minis competitions organised by local Districts. There are seven different Minis competitions operating in Sydney. These competitions operate under the Pathways Laws and provide a series of age-specific modified rugby games.

These modified games progressively develop the individual skills, fitness and team work of all players in accordance with their physical maturity and understanding of the game.

Dural plays within the Eastwood Rugby District. They play home and away games with the other Eastwood Rugby District Village Clubs on Saturday mornings during the Winter Season.

Our home ground is Dural Park, Quarry Road, Dural.

Dural has the largest number of teams in the Eastwood district. Our mini coaches, managers and age coordinators are a very dedicated bunch of people and the club thrives because of their efforts.
