We may be biased but playing rugby is a fantastic reason for kids to get outdoors, socialise and engage in physical exercise.
Rugby will help develop your child in numerous ways, whether it's being part of a pep talk or being out there playing on the field,. Kids who play rugby have increased knowledge and respect for being a part of a team working towards a common goal.
As it is a team sport, children who play rugby will experience increased social interaction with children of their own age. This social development is an instrumental skill that can be transferred into the classroom, as well as something that kids can take with them into adulthood.
Introducing your child to a team sport such as rugby helps give them a sense of social fulfilment and purpose, leading to improved well-being and a happier child.
This is what grassroots community rugby is all about and is a great way to get your child active in an environment geared towards their development.
