Our Teams

We are proud to be able to provide development in the game of rugby for players as young as 3 years old, to seasoned campaigners at the tender age of 17 years. To learn more about our club history and values please click here.

Whilst we aim to provide a team at each age group there are occasions, like other clubs in the UAE where we have to combine age groups to ensure players have the opportunity to play. We do this according to the IRB Laws and Regulations. Players are allowed to play up one year, but not down!

Special permission can be given to those players that have the ability to play up an age group. This is based on the agreement from the coach, parents and Mini & Youth President.

Laws

We play our Mini & Youth Rugby according to the UAE RA Junior Pathway Laws which regulate each of the formats of the game: tag, mini, midi and youth laws variation. Each are listed below:

U6 – U8: TAG Rugby (7 players)
U9 – U10: Mini Rugby (10 players)
U11 – U12: Midi Rugby (12/15 players)
U13 – U14: Youth Laws (15 players)
U15 – U16: Youth Laws (15 players)
U17 – U18: Youth Laws (15 players)

Mouth Guards: It is mandatory for all players to wear a mouth guard both when training and playing. No mouthguard - no rugby!

Hand Offs/ Fend Offs: Hand-offs and fend-offs are allowed for all ages of contact rugby. However, mini and midi rugby players are only allowed to fend off the body, and not off the neck or face. The fend off allowances in mini and midi contact rugby negate the law requiring the ball carrier to hold the ball in both hands.

Mini & Youth Club Rules

So that you can enjoy the sport of rugby at the Dubai Hurricanes RFC we have developed a set of simple rulles that we expect both players and theri parents or guardians to abide by when attending Club training, matches or tournaments. Clik here to view them.
