• 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.

Dodge Ball

  • On the whistle all players run to the centre to try to get a ball.
  • Once a ball has been retrieved players must attempt to hit the opposition by throwing the ball at them (Below chest height).
  • If hit the player is knocked out of the game and must go to the holding area
  • If knocked out the player must do a set of exercises outside the grid.
  • If the player catches the ball thrown at him, he has a choice to make - the thrower is knocked out of the game - he can nominate one of his own players to come back into the game from the holding area
