The Kids First Age Grade Workshops for U7’s

Putting children at the heart of everything they do and all decisions they make
Encouraging fun on the pitch, through equal opportunity and realistic expectations of children
Developing children’s confidence and character as players and as people, challenging any behaviour that conflicts with this
Building adults’ skills to provide a safe, healthy, respectful and enjoyable environment for children
Championing rugby’s core values, inspiring a lifelong bond between children, adults and rugby

The Workshops will combine the Kids First Philosophy with developing skills at each grade and following the incremental progression through the age grades.

Each workshop will look at player welfare, movement skills, coaching through adaptive games, game management/ refereeing and modelling of how the game looks for that specific age grade.

By the end of the course coaches will have knowledge of:

Putting player welfare at the forefront of everything

How to adopt the kids first philosophy when officiating games

The rules of the game at the specific age grade and their application

Key skill focus and development for the specific age grade and the focus on how to transition them to the next

How to use adaptive games to enhance the skills for the age grade

The Scan – Act - Adapt principle
