Teamwork And Confidence Building
Beyond just running around and scoring tries, Oztag does wonders for building character. For the kids, it’s a brilliant introduction to the concept of working together towards a common goal. They learn to rely on their teammates and celebrate successes as a group. This kind of experience really helps boost their confidence, not just on the field but in other parts of their lives too. It teaches them about sportsmanship and respecting others, which are pretty important life skills, wouldn’t you say?

If you’re keen to get your little one involved, just shoot us an email to express your interest.
Mixed Junior Competitions
Our main junior season is a mixed competition, open to boys and girls aged 6 to 15. This is where the real fun begins, with teams playing each other in a friendly yet competitive atmosphere. Players can play up an age group if they want, but they can’t play down. We welcome both individuals looking to join a team and whole teams wanting to register. If you’ve got a group of mates ready to go, you can nominate your own team by downloading a team sheet and sending it back to us. We need a minimum of 11 players to form a team, with 8 on the field at a time. The season usually runs for about 10 rounds, and we steer clear of playing during school holidays, so everyone gets a break.
Individual Player Registration
Don’t have a full team? No worries at all! We’re always on the lookout for individual players or smaller groups who want to join the Oztag family. We’ll do our best to help you find a team that needs players, or we can even help fill up your own nominated team if you’re short a few. It’s a great way to meet new people and become part of the wider Oztag community. Just head to our registration page to sign up as an individual.
Oztag is a brilliant way to introduce kids to team sports. It focuses on skill development and fitness in a safe setting, with no tackling involved. It’s more than just a game; it’s about building confidence and a positive attitude towards being active.
If you’ve got a Play On voucher, make sure you don’t register through the standard link.

The junior season typically kicks off in September, so keep an eye on our announcements for exact dates. You can find more details about the senior mixed season which starts soon.

Team shirts are a bit different; you can sort those out with external suppliers, so you can get creative with your team’s look.
