ScrumKids Rugby Club offers local Rugby Union sessions for children aged between two and eight years old. These sessions provide a fantastic opportunity for kids to get active and develop new rugby-based skills in a fun and engaging way.
What makes ScrumKids Sessions special is that each class is designed to be unique, with games and activities centred around a different theme each week. This ensures that children never get bored and are always excited to come back for more. Not only do they get to learn and practice rugby skills, but they also have the chance to feel like part of a team and leave each session feeling accomplished.
But it's not just about rugby at ScrumKids. The club also focuses on teaching important social skills and instilling the core values of the sport. It's about instilling qualities like teamwork, respect, and discipline, which are valuable life lessons that extend far beyond the rugby pitch.
At ScrumKids, there are two age groups – Scrum Toddlers for children aged 2–4 years old, and Scrum Juniors for children aged 4–8 years old. The Scrum Toddlers sessions are 30 minutes long and use soft balls to teach basic handling and kicking techniques. It's a gentle introduction to the sport that ensures young kids feel comfortable and enjoy themselves.
For the older kids in the Scrum Juniors group, the sessions are 40 minutes long and use specially designed size 2.5 ScrumKids balls. This allows them to further develop and showcase their skills, building confidence along the way. The sessions follow a structured program, starting with a warm-up, agility-based games, and then focusing on handling or kicking techniques.
The progression of skills is tailored to each age group, with our younger children learning through colours, shapes, numbers, and motor skill games. As they grow older, they begin to explore strategy and tactics in preparation for tag rugby. This thoughtful approach ensures that every child is engaged and challenged at their own level.
To facilitate these enriching sessions, ScrumKids brings in experienced and passionate coaches. Some of them are even international players and professional club community coaches. Their expertise and love for the game create an inspiring and supportive environment for children to thrive in.
Safety is a top priority at ScrumKids. Venues are carefully selected to provide a safe and positive environment for children. This way, parents can have peace of mind knowing that their little ones are in good hands.
ScrumKids Sessions are not only a great way for children to have fun and stay active, but they also provide a platform for valuable skill development. So, if you're looking for an exciting rugby experience for your child, look no further than ScrumKids Rugby Club. Get involved today and join in on the rugby fun!
