Rugbytots
Children in Cape Town

Rugbytots is the first of its kind; a specifically designed play programme using the multiple skills of Rugby to create a fun and enjoyable environment whilst developing basic core motor skills.For children aged 2-7.http://www.rugbytots.co.za/about.aspx.

Our fun, structured play sessions take children on a journey of sporting imagination with engaging and energetic coaches supporting them every step of the way whilst teaching how to catch, pass, kick, run with the ball and play as part of a team. We do this by delivering our specifically designed programme for each age group with energy, enthusiasm and excitement. This creates an atmosphere in the class that is totally unique and engaging for parents and children alike. Our youngest classes require full parent participation and offer a fantastic opportunity to spend quality time with your child whilst they learn new skills, meet new friends and have an exciting introduction to Rugby. Its fast-paced fun and your child will learn about shapes, colours, numbers and counting, they will be encouraged to work independently as well as enjoying team games. Rugby specific skills are gently introduced and all the equipment used in these classes has been specifically designed and selected for toddlers. We use sponge foam balls so the children can catch, pass and kick their goals with confidence. Its colourful, it's lively and it's guaranteed to brighten up your day. Your Rugbytot will be part of a dynamic session that will develop their social and physical skills in a positive environment. With slightly more focus on Rugby specific skills, your Rugbytot will discover a new world of sporting imagination. Finding space, looking after the ball, scoring try's, running with the ball in two hands and general agility and balance are just some of the things your child will learn during their time with us. In this class we use colourful size 2 rugby balls that are specially designed for small hands and feet. Our older age group classes really start to prepare children for life after Rugbytots. The same structure is followed but these sessions involve advanced team games and we ensure that the basic skills of rugby are coached in the right way by maintaining small class numbers. The Programme for this age range focuses on fun and encouragement whilst enhancing self-esteem and confidence. We are very proud to support Wooden Spoon, the children's charity of rugby.
