Small Blacks is the Official Youth Rugby Programme of New Zealand Rugby. Small Blacks Rugby has been designed to help players develop their rugby skills as their physical ability develops, making the game as simple and safe as possible for all kids, regardless of their age, shape or size. The Small Blacks Development Model has been developed to ensure that there is a consistency of play, coaching and player welfare at all levels, and is a great way of getting kids involved in a team sport.
