Worthing RFC Minis
U6s (2023-24)
WELCOME
Welcome to the U6s team at Worthing RFC, also known as The Worthing Lions! The U6s is for children in Year 1 at school (ages 5-6).
Whether your child has never played rugby before or has been in a toddler rugby play program such as Rugbytots since they were 2 years old, we welcome you to come along and give it a try. We play outside nearly every Sunday morning from September to Apr and all you have to do is turn up! Your first four sessions are free, so you can ensure your child enjoys rugby with us before becoming a member of the club.
Our structured ‘training’ sessions primarily focus on the children having fun! For this age group, there are no matches, just friendly sessions each week where we introduce the game of rugby and relevant skills through a series of fun games such as stuck in the mud, tiger tails, eggs in the nest and of course the childrens’ favourite bulldog. Through the season, we work up to playing and learning the rules of tag rugby ready for the U7s next year. We teach skills of catching, passing, kicking and running with the ball all whilst being active enjoying the fresh air. We also incorporate England Rugby’s core values of Teamwork, Respect, Enjoyment, Discipline and Sportsmanship.
All your child needs to join in is weather appropriate clothes (waterproofs in the rain and multiple layers, hats and gloves in the cold and wind) and a bottle of water. Once they are attending regularly and we approach winter, a pair of rugby or football boots may be desired as well to provide more grip on the pitch.
