Try Play Stay
Rugby is a truly global game that offers many opportunities for any person large or small, timid or bold, young or getting into the twilight years – no matter what, there’s a place for everyone in rugby.
Fiji Rugby Development is the home base of grassroots participation and community rugby. If you’re looking to play, officiate, coach or volunteer in any capacity, it all starts here.
PLAY THE GAME
There are many ways to join in and play the game of rugby in Fiji.

The aim of the programme is to encourage players of all ages to Try, Play and Stay in Rugby. Get Into Rugby promotes the values of the Game and ensures children are encouraged to try Rugby in a safe and progressive environment.
Or there is the innovative new QUICK RIP programme a fast, non-contact, flag version of rugby introducing a healthy lifestyle and balance training schedule to its participants, especially young adults from 14 – 19 years.
