MINI RUGBY
For mini rugby (under 6 – 12 years) we introduce our new players to the fundamentals of rugby with plenty of fun games and exercises (non-contact). Our games focus on skills development, physical literacy and most importantly having fun.
The 2022/2023 MINI RUGBY SEASON IS FOR CHILDREN BORN BETWEEN 2017 – 2010.
REGISTRATION
All players must be registered as a Clontarf member and also with the IRFU to train and play for insurance purposes.
FOOTWEAR
The Club has a strict policy on the type of footwear that may be worn on the 4G pitch (where most of our training and home matches take place). This applies to players and coaches. Only boots with screw in studs – metal or plastic – or round molded studs may be worn. Blades and runners are prohibited. Please bear this in mind if buying boots for the new season and when your child comes to training.

BOOT CARE
Check your boots regularly, particularly studs. Metal studs are the best option but check for worn or sharpened studs. Failure to do so can result in nasty injuries.
GEAR AND HYDRATION
Gum shields are compulsory for all training. Please ensure that players are appropriately kitted out for the weather conditions (including base layers, hats and/or rain wear during the winter months). Players should have a water bottle at all times.
TRAINING TIMES
Please be on time, as the warm up is a critical part of the session.
HOMEWORK (FOR PLAYERS & PARENTS)
- The more you practice the better you get!
- Carry the ball in two hands at all times.
- Pass behind you. – Stay on your feet.
- Never run backwards. Always run forward!
- Practice scoring a try by bringing the ball to your chest in one hand and support yourself with the other hand, as you go to ground. You can also force the ball to ground firmly with 2 hands, if you do not feel like throwing yourself to the ground.
- Practice your catching.
- Practice your passing, but remember don’t spin the ball.
- Practice having fun
- Stay Positive!
