EMPOWERING
YOUNG WOMEN
Sunnybank Rugby Union’s Girls program is dedicated to empowering young females both on and off the field, fostering skill development, confidence, and character. As one of Brisbane’s top girls’ rugby programs, we offer exciting opportunities in XV Rugby for U12, U14, and U16 age groups, alongside Sevens rugby.
Our focus is on building game understanding while refining individual and position-specific skills.
