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.

LOVED BY ALL OUR PARENTS

  • “We were so impressed with the structure and staff”

    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.

  • … he asks me “Is it a Rugby Pups today?” …

    Ethan has absolutely loved the Rugby Pups sessions...Each day he goes to nursery he asks me; ‘Is it a Rugby Pups today?’ When he’s at home he likes to have a go at playing the games that he plays during the rugby pups sessions...I have noticed a huge improvement in his co-ordination when throwing and catching a ball...Thank you so much!

  • 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.

  • He absolutely loves Rugby Pups …

    When my son first started at Rugby Pups he was very shy and reluctant to participate but everyone was so patient with him. Neil really encouraged him to join in and helped build his confidence. He absolutely loves Rugby Pups now and looks forward to going every week.

  • … a safe, fun, educational environment

    My Husband and I came across Rugby Pups a few months ago. After looking at the website we thought it looked like a great idea for our Son to join. He is 3 in July and although he is active, he doesn’t attend any other clubs. I wanted somewhere for him that would be a safe, fun, educational environment. Rugby Pup’s is just that and more! It’s brilliant for his co-ordination skills. He has learnt so much in such a short space of time. From catching, throwing, kicking the ball whilst also learning to socialise with the other children and adults. He has also how important it is to listen and take his turn in activities. The coaches are brilliant; they are very understanding to the needs of the children. They make it fun and are so positive all the time. It’s great to see how much our Son has improved over the time he has been there. It has given him a new lease of confidence and he is learning to make friends too. Everyone is really friendly and I love the way the parents are encouraged to join in too. Thank You Sarah and the rest of the Rugby Pups team!
