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.

  • … social interaction, confidence and teamwork …

    Rugby Pups has been superb not only for teaching Charlie the basics of rugby, but also social interaction, confidence and teamwork. On top of this, he has loads of fun every single session. The coaches are all very friendly and knowledgeable, and amaze me every week with their ability to control a group of excited toddlers AND remember each of their names! I would highly recommend this to anyone – whether they simply want their children to have fun running around with friends, or desperately need them to play international rugby in the future.

  • We are so glad to have discovered Rugby Pups …

    We are so glad to have discovered Rugby Pups, we were looking for something other than the stereotypical dance class for our daughter and we found it. She loves coming to each session, it has helped build her confidence, integrate with other children and it is fantastic exercise to boot, excuse the pun. I have recommended rugby pups to many people and will continue to do so.

  • “… I cannot think of a better way to spend Saturday morning”

    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.

  • She has gained more independence, better listening skills and improved on her hand eye co-ordination.

    When I first signed Sarah up to Ruby Pups it was a couple of weeks after her 2nd birthday, she enjoyed running around with all of the other children and playing games. Although she didn’t quite understand what she was always meant to do it only took her a couple of months to really get into it. Now she even does the exercises at the end of the class and doesn’t really need me to run around with her so much. She has gained more independence, better listening skills and improved on her hand eye co-ordination. But mainly, she just loves going to her club, even if her class is the earliest one in the morning!!
