Kids rugby classes that start with a smile
Non-contact tag rugby for under-9s, graduating to safe, coached first contact. Every child plays every festival — no trials, no bench.

What kids actually do at training
Sessions run for 60 minutes and are built like play, not drills. Warm-up games with a ball in every hand, three skill stations in small groups, then a conditioned game where coaches freeze the play to teach — never to lecture.
- Tag rugby pathway — under-9s play fully non-contact tag with belts provided.
- Safe tackle progression — kneeling to standing to walking contact, signed off step by step.
- Monthly festivals — mixed-ability teams, every child plays at least half of every game.
- Parent viewing zone — coffee stand, marked sideline and a welfare officer at every session.
