didi Rugby
didi Rugby has been devised to get young children aged 18 months to 6 years active and to teach them new skills while having fun in a safe environment. Getting children active at a young age aids their development, improves their co-ordination, speed and balance and gives them more confidence.
Their classes have been designed by former England Women’s international Vicky Macqueen and are available in three separate age groups :
MINIS : 18 months – 3 years
JUNIORS : 3 years – 4 years
SENIORS : 4 years – 6 years
These age ranges offer flexible boundaries and are based on each child’s ability and confidence as opposed to a strict age structure. We want to make sure that every child feels comfortable, happy and has lots of fun!
