• Play Rugby
Research has found that participating in sports can have a healthy developmental impact on young children. These activities can promote co-operative play, teamwork and good sportsmanship.

Play Rugby provides you with session plans, video clips on how to play fun games, additional Play Rugby certificates for all the class and the full range of Game Cards.

Play Rugby Girls contains additional information for schools and clubs who would like to set up a Girls Rugby programme.

You will also find links to our Mini Rugby programme and the IRFU Child Welfare policy which informs all of our age grade rugby initiatives.

2 Man Piggy in the Middle

  • Divide players into groups of 6 in a 10m x 10m grid with a ball
  • 2 players are selected to go into the middle of the grid
  • The other 4 players are each on a side of the square
  • The object of the game is for the 4 players to keep the ball and not let the 2 players in the middle get the ball
  • The players in the middle are trying to block the ball or intercept it
  • If one of the players in the middle blocks the ball then they replace the person who passed it.
