Little Rugby Sutherland Shire

Rugby (league and union!) for preschoolers

Little Rugby is being launched through our network of dedicated, passionate Little Kickers franchisees, all of whom have loads of experience in delivering sports programmes to the under 7s.

Following the huge success of the popular Little Kickers pre-school football (soccer) programme, many parents said that they would like us to run pre-school rugby classes.

The non-contact programme was developed with the primary objective of providing the 2 – 5s with a fun, positive introduction to sport. The basics of both rugby union and rugby league are imparted through specially developed games which fire the children’s imaginations. Rugby specific skills such as throwing, passing and running forwards are interwoven in a unique programme which also encourages the development of more generic skills such as balance, hand-eye co-ordination and physical agility. In addition to this, valuable concepts like sharing, taking turns, teamwork and listening to instructions are incorporated in the activities. Specially developed kit and equipment ensures that the kids who take part can maximise their enjoyment in a safe, age-appropriate environment.
