Rugby for the youngest, at discounted prices.
Children's jerseys in club and national colours
The jersey remains the first gift for a young supporter. The children's jerseys feature the colours, crest, and often the sponsors of the adult model, in a looser fit that allows freedom to run and play. They come in the colours of Top 14 clubs as well as major nations, from the French XV to the All Blacks. Children's sizes vary by brand, either by age or in centimetres, and go up to about 164 to 176 centimetres: beyond that, you move to adult sizes XS or S. A match jersey from a previous collection retains all its value in the eyes of a child who follows their team.

Rugby school equipment for M6 to M14
The rugby school welcomes children in two-year age categories, from under six to under fourteen years old. For training, you need durable shorts, high socks to protect shins from rubbing, a long-sleeved top for the colder months, and a water bottle. A gum shield is strongly recommended as soon as contact begins, and its use is being promoted in categories where tackling is allowed. Moulded studs are the norm for the youngest: they grip on all pitches, require no maintenance, and metal studs are only permitted in the older age categories.
Choosing the size of a growing child
For children, size in centimetres is a more reliable guide than age: two nine-year-olds can differ by twenty centimetres. Measure the child barefoot, with their back against the wall, and choose the range that fits them, or the next size up if they are at the higher end, to ensure the clothing lasts longer. For studded shoes, however, avoid going too big: a floating foot causes blisters and sprains. Keep at most one centimetre in front of the toes, measuring the foot at the end of the day, and check the shoe size at each new school year, as feet often grow a size each year.

Frequently asked questions
At what age can you play rugby?
Rugby schools welcome children from the age of five in the under-six category, and many clubs offer baby rugby from the age of three, focusing on motor skills and non-contact play.
Do children tackle from the start in rugby?
No, the game is adapted for each category: the youngest play a reduced player rugby on a smaller pitch and without contested scrums. Tackling is introduced gradually, with guidance from coaches.
What size ball for a beginner child?
A size 3 ball is suitable for the youngest, a size 4 takes over around ten years old and up to about under fourteen. Size 5 for adults is only used by the cadets.
How to wash a muddy rugby kit?
Let the mud dry, then brush it off before washing; soak socks and shorts in cold water, then run a cycle at thirty or forty degrees. Hot water right away sets the dirt stains into the fibres.
What bag should be used for a child's training?
A bag for sports with a separate pocket for muddy shoes, a water bottle, a towel, and spare clothes. A pouch for the gum shield prevents it from being lost or getting dirty at the bottom of the bag.
