Mt Roskill Junior Rugby Club is a junior rugby club at 33 Akarana Avenue, Mount Roskill, Auckland. It takes children from under-5s to under-13s, starting with Rippa, a non-tackle form of the game for the youngest players. The club says it is there to help young players build confidence, learn the game and enjoy playing it. For a family in Mount Roskill with a young child who wants to try rugby, Rippa is the first step, and the club has a clear path up through the age groups. Parents deciding on a first sport for a child will find a junior club like this one a practical place to start, close to home in the Auckland isthmus.
