Under 8

Our Under 8 Team

Training for 8-year-olds becomes a bit more structured, with sessions focused on improving basic skills such as running with the ball, passing accurately, and understanding simple rules of the game. Coaches introduce the concepts of positions on the field and encourage children to work together as a team. Sessions are held once a week in the early evening and include a mix of drills and games.

Friendly matches and tag rugby tournaments are scheduled on weekends, providing players with the chance to put their training into practice. These matches emphasize participation and enjoyment, helping players build confidence and a sense of belonging. The club encourages parents to support their children and celebrate their progress.
