What are the Ages of the Youth Teams?

• Age bands in Rugby Texas are two-year age bands and fall on even numbered ages.

For example, “Under 10” = U10 and means that the player is under ten (10) years of age on September 1 of the registration year. In other words, these players were 8 and 9 years of age on September 1, 2024. Some of these players, who are 9, will turn 10 during the

season.
