Mini Rugby
Mini Rugby caters to players aged 4 to 11, offering a fun, safe, and engaging introduction to the sport. This program is designed to be inclusive, focusing on:
- Skill development: Basic rugby skills such as passing, catching, running with the ball, and simple tackling techniques are taught in an age-appropriate manner. The emphasis is on enjoyment and learning through play.
- Teamwork and social skills: Sessions promote teamwork, communication, and sportsmanship. Players learn to work together, support one another, and celebrate each other's successes.
- Non-contact play: For the younger ages, the game is non-contact, focusing on tag rugby to ensure safety while still engaging in the essence of rugby. As players grow older within this age group, we introduce more structured, but safe, contact elements.
- Fitness and health: The activities are tailored to enhance physical fitness, coordination, and agility, contributing to the overall health and well-being of the players.
- Inclusivity: Minis is open to all skill levels and backgrounds, ensuring every player has the opportunity to participate and feel part of the team.
- Parental involvement: Parents are encouraged to get involved, whether through cheering on the sidelines, volunteering as coaches or helpers, or participating in team events, fostering a strong community spirit.
- Matches and festivals: We are a part of regular tournaments and festivals where players can experience the excitement of match day in a friendly, low-pressure environment, focusing on participation rather than winning.
