About East Breakers

East Breakers is grassroots junior rugby for U6 to U9 in Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs.

Formerly Bondi Breakers, the club has always been part of the Easts Rugby family, offering young players a welcoming place to start their rugby journey. Our goal is to introduce children to rugby in a way that is fun, inclusive, safe and community-focused.

We believe rugby should be accessible to everyone. That means welcoming beginners, supporting families who are new to the game, and creating an environment where every child can participate, improve and enjoy themselves.

At East Breakers, we focus on:

  • Enjoyment

Tri-tag rugby gives younger players a fun and safe introduction to the game. From U8, players can begin contact rugby, while families who prefer a non-contact format also have the option of mixed tri-tag teams in U8 and U9.


Our coaches

East Breakers coaches are professionally trained and focused on helping children develop in a positive and supportive environment. We want every player to feel encouraged, included and excited to come back each week.

Our sessions are designed to build confidence and enjoyment while teaching core rugby skills in a way that suits each age group.


Part of the Easts Rugby family

East Breakers is proud to be part of the Easts rugby pathway.

We train alongside the wider Easts junior rugby environment, giving our players and families a strong connection to the club from the beginning. East Breakers provides the entry point for U6 to U9, with players moving into Easts Junior Beasties from U10 onwards.

This pathway helps children grow within the same rugby family as they get older and develop through the game.


A club for the Eastern Suburbs community

East Breakers is built for local families who want their children to enjoy team sport, make friends and be part of a strong community club.

We are proud to provide grassroots rugby in the Eastern Suburbs and to give young players the best possible start in the game.
