Forestville Ferrets Junior Rugby League Club

Last updated April 2026

The Forestville Ferrets Junior Rugby League Club is where Forestville kids learn to run, tackle, and score in a safe, social environment. Every season kicks off with a club barbecue and new-player welcome, giving shy six-year-olds a chance to meet their teammates before the first game. The under-8s focus on fun skills like zig-zag runs through traffic cones, while the under-12s scrimmage on the same mini-fields where local legends once trained. Parents cheer from a shaded hillside where a coffee van rolls in on game days. This is rugby league the way Forestville parents remember it—less pressure, more lemonade and laughter. **What to Bring** Trainers or rugby boots, water bottle, sunscreen, navy-blue club shorts and jersey, spare socks and a beanie for winter games. **Best Age Range** Mini League for 5–7 year olds, Junior League for 8–12 year olds. **Good to Know** Training nights are free for members; game-day entry is $5 per adult, children under 12 enter free. No bookings required for casual training; new players can arrive 15 minutes early on their first day. Parking fills by 8:45 am on home game Saturdays. **Nearby** Grab a post-game milkshake at the café on Forestway after matches. **Tips From Other Parents** Arrive ten minutes early for your first session to meet the age-group coach. Bring a fold-up chair if you want a comfy spot on the hill. The club runs a free “Bring a Friend” day in Term 1—great for making new mates.
