The Emerging School 7s is where schools new to rugby take their first steps into the game in a fun, fast, and supportive environment.

Designed especially for schools that don’t yet have a dedicated rugby program or regular competition, the Emerging School 7s gives students the chance to experience the thrill of Rugby Sevens against teams of similar ability. No powerhouse programs, no one-sided games, just exciting, evenly matched contests that build confidence, connection, and a love for the game.

These events are run throughout the year across Queensland, giving schools plenty of opportunities to get involved, learn the game, and grow at their own pace. Whether it’s your first time fielding a team or you’re looking to introduce rugby into your school sport calendar, the Emerging School 7s is the perfect place to start.

It’s all about participation, enjoyment, and development — helping schools discover the power of teamwork, pride, and the spirit of rugby.

Getting started is easy! The Emerging School 7s is open to all secondary schools looking to introduce rugby into their sport program in a fun, low-pressure environment.

Each tournament is designed to give schools a great experience, short, action-packed days of rugby where every team plays multiple games against schools of similar skill level. No prior experience is needed, just enthusiasm, teamwork, and a willingness to give it a go!

Participating in the Emerging School 7s is the perfect way to:

• Introduce students to rugby in a safe, supportive setting
• Build your school’s rugby culture from the ground up
• Give players and teachers a taste of what rugby has to offer
