Atleast both teams seem consistent with their players. Most u12 teams rely on a kid that hit puberty early, from what I’ve seen.

Can't believe the geniuses here who are criticising their passing or skills. These kids are all 11 years old and playing a full 15's game. Most of the people criticising here probably don't even know all the laws of the game themselves, let alone how to teach 11 year old kids how to play, and with an 11 year old ref! This is top class kids rugby.

[@couscous4096]

I have just come across this video. The players are fantastic and the ref equally so. I am a Level 2 coach in the UK coaching under RFU laws and guidelines for U 11s, next season U12s. Girls can play up to and including the U11s age group then cannot play rugby with the boys at U12 and above. The RFU does not allow this type of game for this age group. Our pitch size is max 60m x 40m marked by cones. No Goal posts. Max 12 players per side. No kicking at goal and a max of 5 in non contested scrums. Max 3 in ruck and Maul. Scrum Half must pass the ball from set scrum ruck and maul, opposing scrum half cannot move until ball is passed from scrum. No Line outs. I believe our Refs society does not allow 12 yr olds to ref. Our RFU has researched the way they believe our mini and youth rugby must be coached and played and each year group has further skill sets introduced. Example is Line Outs start at U14 level. Other laws apply as well. Interesting to watch this video, I am impressed and wish the players well.

[@couscous4096]

@@lukerobinson5734 Thank you for your reply. It does not surprise me that different Unions and countries come to that have different approaches to rugby training and games at this level. Looking at some skill sets, including line outs in Scotland for teams younger than U14s it seems that no one approach is correct. A big bugbear for me is that the RFU does not allow contact for youth and mini rugby until 2 weeks before the season starts. This places massive pressure on coaches who have to develop their teams including new recruits to the game with contact skills. The response from the powers that be is to play touch rugby until players have developed contact skills. Very frustrating when many clubs have their young players once a week for a max of 2 hrs training.
