Tag and mini rugby aged 6 to 13 years
Our club provides sports sessions for young boys and girls aged 6 to 13 playing in different groups, depending on age and / or the physical development of the child.
Children aged 6 and 7 years old will start with tag rugby. This is a fun, enjoyable and contactless version of rugby played in small teams on small pitches. The emphasis will be on participation, physical activity and enjoyment.
Generally, from age 8 upwards, children will play mini rugby. This offers an introduction to rugby that meets the needs of the young player, and gradually, as the children get older, team and pitch sizes will increase. Participants will master the basics of rugby and learn the rules of the game. The contact rugby will only be introduced once a child is ready for it and all 1st timers will be given fitness/conditioning training and skills training before they play any contact rugby, and when they play contact rugby it will be supervised by a qualified coach.
The sessions are designed to encourage player development focusing on participation rather than the outcome of the game. By developing their rugby skills, children will strengthen their self-confidence, self-responsibility, team spirit and cooperation with other players and coaches.
Children in mini rugby train in a positive, safe and fun sports environment.
