About Us

Kidz Rugby is a rugby program aimed at children aged 3 and above. The Kidz Rugby program is aimed at providing a fun, safe environment for your child to develop core skills, confidence, spatial awareness and team-building abilities, as well as developing rugby-specific skills.

Founded by Clinton Te Rangi-day, an experienced rugby coach who was born and raised in New Zealand, Kidz Rugby is a unique program here in the UK. Clinton has developed the program based on the style of southern hemisphere rugby.

Kidz rugby sessions are constantly evolving, progressing and improving. Our Infants classes, which are fun filled, energetic and structured sessions, have proven hugely successful in introducing very young kids into a skilled exercise and social environment, using the ethics of Rugby: respect, control, patience, team work and discipline.

As a child’s skill levels increase and they develop socially, we have found that their general confidence follows, and they really start to prosper. It’s at this stage we begin progressing the kids through into our Junior classes. We look to increase the intensity of the skilled drills, meaning the boys and girls just need to concentrate on their hand-eye co-ordination and the skills they have learnt.  The main change to our approach is that we work really hard in every Junior session to introduce a teamwork element, teaching kids to find space, run into gaps, hit the ball at pace, draw and pass to each to other, get behind the ball, and motivate & encourage each other in a real touch game environment. We don’t use tags, as our big emphasis is on a child to pass the ball before they are touched, and hit the space as it opens up until a try is scored! 🌟

We want kids to experience success but also failure and disappointment. It’s all about managing this through character, reflection and the desire to get better and come back stronger.
