As you can see, the districts are made up of a group of schools. Boys and girls from each school are eligible to play for their District. Those who are chosen to represent their District will play other districts from across Wales throughout the season. The matches are 15-a-side on a full size rugby pitch. The games usually take place on a Saturday, with some midweek games during the season.

Training is on a Thursday at Gorseinon RFC from 5.15pm - 6.30pm. If for any reason training is cancelled, then the website will be updated accordingly, if you do not hear from us then assume training is on.

As the season progresses, the players get the chance to 'step up' to the next level to represent the 'Swansea County' side. The side is an amalgamation of Llwchwr District and Swansea Schoolboys (Swansea District). Players from this side can be selected to play for West Wales.
