Rugby for kids

Club and national jerseys in children's sizes

The children's jerseys feature the colours and badges of the kits worn by the players. On the club side, the Toulouse Stadium comes in home, away, third Stadium and fourth jerseys, alongside the jersey of Bordeaux-Bègles, the European champion in 2025, as well as Stade Rochelais, Stade Français, Racing 92, RC Toulon, and Castres. For nations, the blue jersey of the XV de France and the black jersey of the All Blacks, which has been signed adidas since 1999, delight fans of the national teams. The cut, straighter than that of adults, allows children to move freely.

Shoes, mouthguards, and helmets for rugby school

To start rugby, a few pieces are enough. Moulded stud shoes, which are fixed to the sole, grip the grass without requiring maintenance and are suitable for the early years. The mouthguard, highly recommended as soon as contact begins, moulds to the child's teeth after being placed in hot water. The soft helmet is not mandatory but protects the ears and cushions impacts; to be worn during matches, it must display the World Rugby approval label, just like shoulder pads. A durable pair of shorts, high socks, and a bag complete the kit.

What size to choose based on age and stature

Children's sizes are expressed in age, but it's the height in centimetres that guides the right choice. As a guideline, a size eight corresponds to about 128 centimetres, a size ten to 140 cm and a size twelve to 152, with variations between brands. For a supporter jersey, aiming for the next size up can be beneficial for longer use; for a match short or a training outfit, it's better to choose a fitting size that doesn't hinder running or tackling. Clothing should be washed inside out, in cold water or at thirty degrees, to preserve the printing.

Good deals

Good bargains can be found in promotions, sales, clearance, and Black Friday. The new arrivals showcase the latest collections, and the items shipped in 24h are prepared and sent within 24 hours. The highlights of the year follow a stable order: Black Friday in late autumn, the end-of-year holidays, winter sales, the spring French Days, then the summer sales and back-to-school.

Frequently asked questions

At what age can a child play rugby?

Rugby schools generally accept children from five or six years old, and some clubs offer baby rugby even earlier. The first years focus on play, running, and evasion, with tackling introduced gradually.

Does a children's jersey fit like an adult jersey?

No, the children's size chart follows height rather than chest measurement. The jerseys feature the same colours and badges as those worn by the players, in a straighter cut that suits younger players.

Do children need screw-in studs?

Rarely before adolescence. Moulded studs are sufficient on most pitches and are easier on the joints; screw-in studs, which are longer, are mainly justified for older players on heavy pitches in winter.

How to prepare a child's rugby bag?

Put the shoes in a separate pouch, a change of clothes, a water bottle, the mouthguard in its case, and a towel inside. A bag with a ventilated compartment prevents wet items from dirtying the rest after training.

What gift to give to a young rugby enthusiast?

A jersey from their club or favourite team remains a classic, to be complemented with a ball in their size or a bag in the team colours. For a registered player, a mouthguard or a pair of shoes in their size also makes a useful gift.
