The focal point in the minis is the kids learning through fun and participation, increasing balance, agility and co-ordination.

U7 and U8 rugby has always been non-contact tag rugby but is now played on very small pitches with small teams ensuring participation, not standing on side-lines, and lots of tries scored and smiles all round allowing all abilities to join in and have fun.
