Currently there are approximately 45 teams playing in the League, involving about 1300 players throughout the season.
Schools in Hong Kong administer their own rugby leagues and fall under the Hong Kong School Rugby Association whilst Clubs are the responsibility of the Hong Kong Colts Association, both are members of the HKRFU.
As players progress through the different stages of mini-rugby the skills they require for rugby become more specific. Once they become teenagers their physical development changes and they need specific exercise that builds strength and instils confidence.
Colts rugby acts as the link from mini rugby to the senior game over a period of seven years. The natural progression through Colts breaks down into age bands which in HK are U14, U16, U18 and U19. As the number of players grows it is the aim to have single year groups.
Players are placed into their respective groups depending upon their age at 1st January each year.

All the boys teams will focus on 15-a-side rugby throughout their Colts years although tournaments will be played at the 7-a-side and 10-a-side game.
So, join in the fun, keep fit and learn new skills. Generally Colts will play on a Sunday and you will find a list of participating Clubs in the "Contacts" section of this site. Places are available so there is one close to you please join that club.
