About the team

Rugger Rats are the youngest age group at Nuneaton RFC. We provide a safe, fun and friendly environment for children to begin learning the basics of rugby. Training is non-contact and open to both boys and girls. We implement games and training routines to get kids playing tag rugby.

The benefits of playing rugby include-

  • Encourage Teamwork
  • Improve Confidence
  • Make Friends
  • Develop Social Skills

We invite you to visit Nuneaton RFC and ‘Give it a try’.

Not sure if your little one will enjoy playing rugby? Don’t want to commit straight away. No problem.
The first 4 weeks are totally FREE. Just turn with your child in suitable clothing and join in the fun.
To help we have put together a collection of FAQs.

What age group is Rugger Rats for?
We coach ages 4-6 year olds from September to the end of April. Your child must be 4 years old and in reception year or year 1 at School. Unfortunately, due to insurance, we cannot coach younger children that are not in school or turn 4 after the start of September.

When does training start?
Training starts the first Sunday in September.
Sessions run from 10.00am to 11.00am (depending on the weather/temperature) so please arrive between to 9.45 to get the players warmed up and to avoid keeping the kids hanging around for late arrivals.

What clothing will the children need?
To start with just wear comfortable sports clothes and trainers. After a few weeks the kit required is quite simple-
Boots - Rugby or football boots are fine. Please check that none of the studs are missing and they do not have sharp edges.
Warm top/jumper/tracksuit - Rugger Rats Hoodies are great.
Base Layers or T Shirt.
Shorts or tracksuit bottoms.
Suitable Socks
Jacket - We recommend a windproof and showerproof jacket or NRFC training top.
Drink - Do not forget the drink. We stop regularly to rehydrate the kids (and coaches).

We look forward to training the future stars of Nuneaton RFC.
