Junior Rugby
Fun, skills development, and the transition from Rippa to tackle rugby. The foundation of every rugby journey starts here — building confidence, coordination, and a love of the game.
Rolleston RFC
Rugby Hub
From first tackles to representative honours — a pathway for every player. Grades, coaching, policies, and everything you need for the season.
Player Pathway
A Grade for Every Player
Whether you're 5 or 35, just starting out or chasing representative honours — there's a place for you at Rolleston RFC.
Intermediate
Development-focused coaching with competitive grading, regional tournaments, and representative pathway opportunities for players ready to step up.
Senior Youth
Higher-level competition with an emphasis on fitness, game understanding, and preparation for senior rugby. Colts bridge the gap between youth and open grades.
Women's & Girls'
A growing programme welcoming players of all ages and experience levels. From girls' rippa through to the senior women's team — everyone has a place.
Senior Men's
Five senior men's teams competing across the Ellesmere and Metro competitions. From social rugby through to the Premier squad — there's a level for every player.
Social & Touch
Off-season touch rugby and social fixtures for adults who want to stay connected to the club, keep fit, and enjoy the game without the full-contact commitment.
Development
Coaching & Refereeing
Great clubs are built by great coaches and referees. We invest in development at every level.
Coaching Philosophy
Player development first. Our coaches focus on building skills, confidence, and game understanding at every level — from first-time Rippa players through to the senior squad.
Referee Development
The club actively supports referee development through Canterbury Rugby's programmes. We encourage players and parents to take up the whistle and give back to the game.
Coach Education
All coaches are supported with Canterbury Rugby coaching courses, first aid training, and access to the NZR coaching toolbox. New coaches are always welcome.
