Andy Keast's Rugby Rookies - Rugby Training for infant & junior age children from Andy Keast School of Rugby

Welcome to Rugby Rookies!

Thanks for visiting Rugby Rookies. Our sole mission to introduce little people to one of the best games in the world. Rugby Rookies has been created by top professional rugby coach Andy Keast, in consultation with specialists in child development and protection .

Rugby Rookies' aim is to make sport fun for all. It is our belief that children learn best through having fun, therefore we encourage active sessions which are lively and full of learning experiences held in a comfortable and friendly indoor environment. With no contact and an emphasis on fun, boys and girls from as young as two years old can discover their inbuilt ball and co-ordination skills.

So the children see familiar faces each time they attend a Rugby Rookies session, we work on a membership basis. It is not only the children who have hours of fun; the visible and expressive enthusiam shown by the proud parents and carers is totally absorbed by the players, which in turn helps enhance this positive learning experience.

Pups is designed for children aged 2-3 years.

Little Ruckers is designed for children aged 3-4 years.

The Flyers is designed for children aged 4-6 years.

As well as the enjoyment of learning basic rugby and movement skills, children also develop their awareness of shapes, colours, numbers, social skills and communication.

Please look through the whole of our website, where you can see exactly how the programme works, where the classes take place, our safety policy and our charges.
