Rugbytots Learn A Lot!

Do you want your kids to learn some invaluable skills for both life and sport? If so, take them to Rugbytots, a non-code associated play program for 2–7-year-olds that teaches the basics of rugby.

Whether you are a league or union fan, the coaches at Rugbytots can show your children ball skills like catching, kicking and passing right through to life skills such as teamwork, listening to instruction and taking turns.

A friendly and fun atmosphere, this unique rugby program is dedicated to little ones and not only lets them share in the sport you love, but also helps to create strong, confident and resilient children.

Rugbytots first started in the UK in 2006 when a rugby-playing dad couldn’t find a pre-school rugby class for his three young boys.

Almost 20 years later and over 80,000 children in 20 different countries participate in Rugbytots and we are lucky enough to have one of them here in Mackay.

When Krystal Berrigan brought her children to Rugbytots several years ago as a parent, she loved it so much that she soon progressed into the role of a Coach and, almost 7 years ago she took over the reins, running the business ever since.

“Rugbytots is wonderful for your child’s development skills such as hand-eye coordination, social development, balance and agility,” she said.

“It’s a fun environment that gets kids out and active, away from the screens!”

“They love the structure of the sessions and, with their parents close-by, they can find their independence with the comfort of having a parent with them.”

Suitable for both boys and girls, these weekly classes are available, year-round, right across the Mackay Region.

Monday classes are in Marian, Friday in Ooralea and Saturday in Beaconsfield.

Reach out to Krystal to find out more details about how your child can enjoy learning about rugby and gain more confidence for life along the way.
