The competition structure of the RFUW aims to support all players and teams with clear guidelines to enable participation at all levels.
It was agreed last season that the for the forthcoming 2008-2009 season the age-bands in schools would mirror those played in the club environment.
The following age-bands apply to schools, clubs and a colleges playing girls rugby in England. Any breach of theses age bands could lead to disciplinary action of coaches and clubs.

Girls usually do not take part in the sport activities. Participation of girls is less in comparison to boys. But boarding schools for girls encourage students to participate in games. These schools are dedicated for the physical and intellectual development of students.
