Mackay Junior Rugby Union is set to launch its 2025 season in style, with a community sign-on day and first training session scheduled for Sunday, August 17, from 2pm to 4pm at Quarry Hill, North Mackay.
The club, which continues to grow under the leadership of its dedicated president, is opening its doors to players of all experience levels, from absolute beginners to seasoned juniors. Training will be held Friday nights, with Sunday games and a full calendar of carnivals in Emerald, Airlie Beach, Moranbah, and Mackay.
This year sees the introduction of two exciting development programs: ‘Get into Rugby’, a fun, skill-based initiative for children aged 4–7, and ‘Girls Can Tackle Anything’, a dedicated program for girls aged 6–12 aimed at boosting female participation in the sport.
Adding to the excitement, Mackay Junior Rugby Union has been invited to send a group of players to walk onto the field before the Wallabies game in Townsville this September, calling for an unforgettable experience for the young athletes.
The 2024 season was one to remember, with the club’s Under-12s and Under-10s teams either winning or placing second in every carnival they entered. The talent pipeline is also strong, with two standout players from last year’s U12s recently selected for the prestigious Queensland Country Rugby Union Team.
The sign-on day offers the perfect opportunity for families to meet coaches, learn about the season ahead, and get a feel for the club’s supportive, community-focused environment. With rugby offering not just physical benefits but also teamwork, resilience, and friendships that last a lifetime, Mackay Junior Rugby Union is eager to welcome the next wave of players.
Parents and players are encouraged to head to Quarry Hill on August 17 to be part of a club that’s kicking goals both on and off the field.
