Dispensation to Play in a Younger Age Grade

This could be due to an existing or previous medical disability (physical or behavioural). Any dispensation, if granted, would only be valid for one season, and would only allow players to play down one age grade, in a specific team.

If a club or school wishes to apply for such a dispensation for a player, they must complete the application form and email it to [email protected], including any supporting evidence of the player’s condition. The coach must have completed the annual RugbyRight course. The application form must be signed by the player’s parent or guardian and coach.

Submissions will be considered on a case-by-case basis by Scottish Rugby’s medical team. Please contact [email protected] for the remaining Panel dates this season.
