President Tim West said it was open to all prospective Walla rugby players from under 11s down.
West said the club had Walla rugby teams for under 11s, under 9s and under 7s.
He said the games were aimed at introducing young players to rugby.
They are skills-based and non-contact and the score was not kept.
“It’s a great concept, it works well,” he said.
The session will run from 5pm to 6pm at Pride Park at the Waratahs Sportsground with a free sausage sizzle and drink afterwards.
West said that instead of a home and away-style season Walla rugby games were played at a series of gala days.
Teams from across the Central West travelled to each venue to play from 8.30am to about 1pm on Sundays starting on April 30.
The club also has under 17s, under 15s and under 13s sides, a girls sevens team and a junior netball team.
