Rugby Ball Size Chart

Not sure which rugby ball size to buy for your child, your team, or perhaps for yourself? There are several rugby ball sizes and choosing the right one can be tricky, especially for kids. Using the correct size matters. It helps kids learn proper skills like passing and catching with a ball that's suited to their size and strength. A rugby ball that's too big or too small, makes it harder to handle and can prove frustrating and demotivating to use. In turn this can give children a negative first experience of the sport.
