Petersham Rugby Club

Last updated April 2026

Petersham Rugby Club’s junior rugby program in Camperdown, Sydney turns Saturday mornings into a high-energy playground where kids learn to sprint, pass, and cheer like seasoned players. With a focus on fun and skill-building, the club’s bright green jerseys are a familiar sight across local parks, where coaches turn drills into games and every kid gets a turn with the ball. Parents rave about the inclusive vibe and the way the club fosters teamwork without the pressure of competition. It’s the kind of place where first-timers quickly forget their nerves and join the hype. Rugby skills aren’t the only thing kids take home — they’ll also leave with new friendships and a love for the game. **What to Bring** A water bottle, sunscreen, and a hat. Bring a change of clothes for after training, especially if it’s been wet. Pack a healthy snack for after the session. Arrive in sports shoes or cleats and rugby shorts. **Best Age Range** Best for 5–12 year olds, with modified programs for younger kids. **Good to Know** Sessions run on Saturday mornings during school terms. Registration is required before the first session — come 15 minutes early to sign in. Parking is available along Mallett Street or nearby residential streets. Check the website for term dates and pricing updates. **Nearby** Grab a coffee and a snack at Camperdown’s The Grounds of the City after training. **Tips From Other Parents** Go early to secure parking and settle the kids in without rushing. Bring a spare pair of socks — kids always seem to step in puddles. Keep an eye out for the club’s social barbecues after training — a great chance to meet other families.
