U9 is the age group that start playing contact rugby. It is an introduction into the contact game but plays against a different set of rules which helps to keep this age group safe from injury. Scrums and line-outs are uncontested (they don’t push in the scrum and the team that is throwing in the line-out must get the ball) and there is no kicking (for points or otherwise).
