GPS Rugby Club Juniors
With over 50 teams and close to 1000 players ranging from U6-U16, the GPS Rugby Club boasts one of Australia’s largest junior rugby clubs. We cater for and foster the growth of all abilities of rugby, and feature U6-U11 Mixed Rugby, Girl’s 7s and U12-U16 Graded competition.
The Club has a strong history of success within its junior ranks, and has produced numerous Wallabies, with Nick Frisby being the most recent. Within our last 1st Grade Premiership winning team (2018) 8 players in the matchday 23 had played for the Club since U6.
In 2023, our Club historian was able to uncover that there are now a number of families who have had 3 generations play for GPS, a trend we hope to see continue for many years to come.
