Ceremonial Plates: Marking Mini Pirates’ Transition to Youth

Engraved ceremonial plates are a cherished keepsake for Pirates who have spent their formative years with the Minis, from under 5/6 through under 12, as part of the club before transitioning into our Youth program.
This small but meaningful token symbolises their journey, growth, and camaraderie during these early years. The plates are designed to last a lifetime, serving as a tangible reminder of the memories, friendships, and skills developed on and off the field.
The presentation of the plates takes place at the end of season party, marking the transition from Minis to Youth. For the young athletes, it represents recognition of their dedication, teamwork, and enthusiasm, while for parents and coaches, it’s a momento of the laughter, challenges, and milestones shared along the way.
For many, it becomes more than just an object—it’s a symbol of belonging, a testament to their roots in the club, and a stepping stone into the next chapter of their rugby journey.
