What is Rugby Pups?

Our renowned, certified and DBS checked coaches work with children aged 2 -11 to encourage a natural enjoyment of physical activity, implementing healthy habits for later life and ensuring that kids associate exercise with fun activities.
Age-appropriate, rugby-based activities promote health and exercise and develop vital early life-skills such as co-ordination, confidence and teamwork.

Rugby Pups – The Home of Exciting tag Rugby Clubs for Children from Toddlers to Year 6

We offer after school sessions at various primary schools in the area – please visit our Booking Page to book into a club offered at your school. We also host a range of Saturday Sessions, with time allocated to each age group.

 

We offer schools the opportunity to hire our coaches for themed rugby fun and fitness weeks, which work to promote fitness and healthy living habits throughout every year group.

 

We also offer private parties for birthday’s special occasions and family fun days – these include 90 minutes of fun activities for children, gifts for the birthday child, a pre-packaged pass-the-parcel game and stickers for every child attending.

  • The only thing which needed improving was the weather!

    The only thing which needed improving was the weather! Now the spring is here I cannot think of a better way to spend Saturday morning. The kids love this and the smiles are infectious. The skills of the coaches are brilliant. This is a permanent fixture in our calendar.

  • … staff are fun and friendly, giving the kids encouragement and help when needed …

    My 2-year-old son has been attending Rugby Pups since the very first session. Having found out about it, we booked a term to see how he got on. We were so impressed with the structure and staff that we stayed and have been attending ever since. The staff are fun and friendly, giving the kids encouragement and help when needed. The whole “belonging to a club/team” works well with my son and he loves the games they play, which provide rugby skills and fitness too. The sessions teach kids to learn to listen and follow instructions which is a valuable tool and helps with all other activities that my son attends. I would, without hesitation, encourage any parent to enrol their child on to a Rugby Pups course. You will have so much fun in the process too.
