Why rugby is great for kids

It's about far more than the game.

  • Children running with the ball past a coach during a drill

    Active & healthy

    Running, catching, passing and dodging: sessions keep children moving and build coordination and fitness through play.

  • Young player catching a rugby ball with a coach beside her

    Confidence

    Learning new skills and seeing them work in a game gives children real confidence, on and off the pitch.

  • Youth coach high-fiving a player during a team talk

    Friends & teamwork

    Rugby is a team sport at heart. Kids make new friends and learn respect, teamwork and life skills along the way.

No. Most children join having never played. Our coaches teach the basics through games and drills, so every child can join in from their first session.
