What a session looks like

A typical visit runs 1.5 hours between 5 classes. We bring everything — balls, cones, all equipment. Your staff don't need to do a thing.

Ages 2–3 — Example session

  • Touch and feel the rugby ball for the first time
  • Learn to score a try — lift the ball high, push it into the ground
  • The Jelly Bean Game — a movement and listening warm-up
  • Colour runs — run to coloured squares, score a try — builds colour recognition and gross motor skills

Ages 3–5 — Example session

  • Red light green light — with a rugby ball in hand
  • Zig zag through cones, score a try, zig zag back and pass to a friend
  • Kicking off the cone — over the imaginary posts
  • Building towards passing games, stuck in the mud, team challenges

Sessions build week on week. Kids who've never seen a rugby ball are playing team games within a few weeks.

Why rugby?

Non-contact and safe

No tackling, no contact. Just running, passing, and scoring tries in a safe, structured environment.

Motor skills and coordination

Running with a ball in two hands builds coordination in ways other toddler sports don't. The oval ball keeps it unpredictable and fun.

Teamwork and social-emotional learning

Every session ends with a handshake and "good game." Rugby's values of respect and teamwork are built into every drill from day one.

For every child

Rugby is one of the most inclusive team sports in the world. There's a place in the team for every body type and athletic ability and it's for men and women (the USA women's rugby team won a medal at the Paris Olympics!)

"Our toddlers absolutely loved the rugby sessions — they were active, engaged, and smiling the whole time. The coach brought great energy and tailored everything to their level. It's hard to find a programme that combines movement, teamwork and fun so well. We're thrilled to be offering this and would highly recommend it to other centres looking to enrich their physical activity, character building and social-emotional learning in their programming."
