Under 8s – Experience, Confidence, and Big Steps Forward – Springfield Lakes Hawks Rugby Union Club

The 2025 Under 8s have brought energy, determination, and a great sense of teamwork to the field this season. Coached by Nathan and Cody and managed by Jamie, this team is showing exactly what a few seasons of rugby experience can build.

🏉 Stepping Up into Tackle Rugby

Now playing in the tackle format, the Under 8s have made the leap from touch to contact rugby. With two years of playing experience under their belts, they are ready for the challenge.

This season focuses on safe and effective tackling, positional awareness, and working as a unit both in attack and defence. The team has handled this transition with maturity, effort, and a strong willingness to learn.

💪 Confidence on the Field

Confidence building has been a major part of their success this year. With supportive coaching and consistent effort, the players are now:

Showing bravery in contact situations
Communicating clearly on the field
Playing with improved structure and focus
Supporting one another every step of the way

This team is not just learning the game, they are embracing it. Their growth over the first part of the season has been a joy to watch.

Our Under 8s are proud to wear the Hawks jersey and represent the future of our club.
Keep watching for more highlights and standout moments from this exciting group
