Some players have gone from mini rugby to school's rugby and then rejoined the club upon leaving school such as Tom Arthur Donnan, Paddy Bond, Jonny Harris, Aaron May, Josh McFarland, Adam Curry and Taylor Nutt.

Other players who went to a non rugby playing school continued into the Ards Youth system and then progressed from U18 to senior rugby.

Notable players in recent seasons have been former Movilla High School pupils including Club Captain Paul Cox, past Captain Andrew Foster, Trevor Devlin & Pete Croan; former Strangford College pupils including past captain Mark Banford, Mike Taylor, Ross Torney, Alex Gaw & Danny McCullough; former Glastry pupils Ryan Thompson, Adam Coulter, Jack Coulter & Matthew Warnock and former Comber High (now Nendrum College) pupil Michael Lawton who went on to represent Ireland in international 7s.
