The 3-5yrs Ruggerbeez class starts to introduce more rugby honed skill sets such as scoring trys, kicking at mock posts or targets and side-stepping. Sessions are designed to encourage fun repetitive play sessions. We use midi size rugby balls for this class and the session is 60mins with a half time refreshment break in the middle. We use a variety of child-friendly equipment ranging from hoops and hurdles to canvas hopping ladders and agility poles. Children get accustomed to the weight and feel of a nearly full sized ball. Parent participation is encouraged.

CRICKET

The cricket session introduces children to handling the bat, hand-eye co-ordination and underarm throwing. May skills crossover from rugby with regard transferring movement skills.

SEE ZONES: Zones are managed and coaches at different progressive levels depending on age group.

Max class size 12 children per coach. For the older children we create fun tag rugby based lessons. Within the 60 minute session we will concentrate on activities that prepare our ruggerbeez for a tag rugby game that will end the session. Tag Rugby is a non-contact team game in which each player wears a belt that has two Velcro tags attached to it. This game is very similar to rugby league, in style, with attacking players attempting to dodge, evade and pass a rugby ball while defenders try to prevent them scoring by pulling one of the Velcro tags from the ball carrier.

CRICKET

Tactical Batting Zone – Batting / Movement / Balance skill test
Decisions must be made quickly! A quick single run, through the gap for four or a massive hit for six! Make a choice to run or stay in the crease - your call.

Fast Fielding Zone - Catching / Movement / Balance skill test
You’re standing in the slips. It’s that crucial moment! Catch balls that are thrown randomly at different directions.

Tactical play is introduced and more spatial game awareness techniques.

CRICKET

Wicket Zone - Fielding / Throwing skill test
You’re in the outfield - you’ve raced to collect the ball - the batsmen are running between the wickets. Which option - the gloves of the wicket keeper or middle stump! You decide - make your throw!

Bowling Target Zone - Bowling / Accuracy / Movement skill test
Keep the batsman guessing. Bowling down into the zone through the target maze, get the stumps in your sights and test your accuracy. Underarm and overarm techniques are developed in this zone.
