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.

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.
