Under 10s – Courage, Contact, and Club Spirit
🦅 Under 10s – Courage, Contact, and Club Spirit
The 2025 Under 10s have taken a big step in their rugby journey this season. Coached by Matt and Terry and managed by Glen, this team brings together a fantastic group of players who are learning, growing, and playing with real heart.
This is also our final mixed-gender team at Springfield Lakes Hawks, making it a special part of our junior pathway. Boys and girls train, learn, and compete side by side before moving into gender-specific age groups from Under 12 and up.
🏉 Embracing Full Contact Rugby
For many of these players, this is their first season of rugby, and they are stepping into the tackle format with determination and a willingness to learn.
The season so far has focused on:
Learning safe and confident tackling
Understanding space, structure, and movement across the field
Clear communication and teamwork
Supporting one another through new challenges
The mix of experienced players and first-timers has created a supportive team culture where every player feels included and encouraged.
💪 Learning Together, Playing with Pride
Our Under 10s are learning the game together and already showing major progress. With each training session and match, they are gaining confidence and building strong habits that will serve them for seasons to come.
This team has shown:
Courage in contact situations
Rapid growth in game awareness
A positive and respectful sideline culture
Pride in representing the club and each other
The coaching team has created an environment where players feel safe to learn, make mistakes, and keep pushing forward as a group.
The Under 10s are a proud and important part of our club, carrying the spirit of mixed rugby into their next chapters.
We are excited to see where this special group goes from here
