There’s a thriving community supporting touch rugby and rugby for kids in Singapore – boys and girls alike. The clubs welcome newcomers throughout the year for weekly training, regular inter-club tournaments and international trips. Kids learn teamwork, make new friends and have fun when playing a sport like rugby. From Dragons Rugby Club to Tanglin Rugby Club, here are a few great options to check out in Singapore!
Rugby clubs in Singapore for all ages
Dragons Rugby Club
Established in 2011, this not-for-profit junior rugby club has grown into a thriving community, welcoming boys and girls aged 3 to 18 for contact and touch rugby, with a dedicated girls-only contact rugby programme and over 600 members.
And it’s not just for the kids! The flourishing Vets team lets parents get in on the action too, with training times designed to align with the junior schedule. So the whole family can enjoy a Saturday afternoon of rugby.
At the heart of Dragons Rugby Club is a world-class coaching team, led by former Fiji national captain Deacon Manu and Singapore Touch World Cup player Georgie Patterson. Their experience, passion and infectious energy inspire every player to grow, both on and off the field.
Training takes place on Saturday afternoons at UWCSEA (East), with IRB-approved astro turf, underground parking and a covered spectator area. With a full January to December season and participation in local and international tournaments, there’s no shortage of opportunities to sharpen skills and build friendships. And that goes for whether you’ve played rugby for years or are new to the rugby field.

Tanglin Rugby Club
As one of Singapore’s largest junior rugby clubs – with nearly 700 players across the age groups – Tanglin Rugby Club (TRC) welcomes boys and girls aged four to 17, from total beginners to rising stars.
From Mixed Touch Rugby for the little ones to Mixed Contact, Girls’ Rugby and Girls’ Touch Rugby (up to 19 years old), TRC provides a clear pathway for skill development in a fun, supportive and inclusive environment. It’s not just about scoring tries; it’s about learning how to work together, support each other and grow as a team.
With top-tier coaching led by parent volunteers and pro players for the older age groups, TRC ensures that every child grows at their own pace, picking up techniques, building confidence and creating friendships beyond the pitch. In fact, several TRC alumni have gone on to represent their countries, including Singapore, England and France!
Training happens every Sunday morning at Tanglin Trust School and the Australian International School, making it easy for busy families to get involved. And they do – with a thriving volunteer-led rugby community.
But it’s more than just training – three annual junior rugby tournaments bring together over 1,500 players and more than 2,500 spectators from across Asia. Hosted at Marlborough College Malaysia, these signature events – TRC Junior Cup (U6 to U10), TRC Senior Cup (U11 to U17), and the Girls’ Contact and Touch Tournament – are highlights of the junior rugby calendar, giving players the chance to shine on a bigger stage.
