Tasman Rugby Union Survey

U14 Boys Rugby Review

Firstly, thank you for deciding to complete this survey - it is an independent survey, performed by the Tasman Rugby Union (the parent body for rugby), with the full support of both schools and rugby clubs.

The purpose of this survey is to gain an honest and transparent view from players, non-players, parents and coaches (schools and clubs), as to whether our age grade rugby should be focused into our rugby clubs, or our schools, or a collaboration between clubs and schools.

The principles are that we gain a working knowledge from the feedback, as to what the boys' primary reasons would be, for selecting a club team or a school team to play for?

You can complete this survey whether you played U14 rugby this year or not, and also we are keen to hear your views if you played U13 this year and will be due to play U14 in 2024. We are also keen to hear from you if you are a parent, coach or administrator at age grade rugby level.

To encourage you to provide your views to us, everyone who completes a survey will go into a draw for a 2023 Signed Mako Jersey. Thank you for taking the time to complete the survey
