FAQ's

Here we have a selection of frequently asked questions.

If you have a question which is not covered, please email us at info@ruggerratz.co.uk

Do you offer trial sessions?

Yes we do.

We feel it's unfair to expect you to commit to paying by standind order and for membership without 'trying before buying'. You can pay for 3 x trial sessions by cash before committing.

On the third trial session you will be asked to complete a standing order mandate and pay for the first month and membership, should your child wish to continue with Rugger Ratz.

What is the membership fee?

Our one-off membership fee is £25, which includes one of our high quality Rugger Ratz rugby kits (top & shorts) for your child. Please note, there may be a delay in the receipt of the rugby kit, as these are made to order.

If you choose to sign up for 12 months, with payment made in advance, membership is free!

What qualifications do your coaches hold?

All our coaches hold a minimum Level 1 RFL coaching qualification as well as personal experience at semi-professional level within rugby league , they are all enhanced CRB checked and are emergency first aid certified.

What should my child wear?

Your child should wear clothing and footwear that they feel comfortable in. Once membership is confirmed your child will receive their very own Rugger Ratz kit to wear during the sessions.

Will you be adding more classes/times?

Yes, we certainly hope to.

If you are unable to find a convenient class day/time, please inform us. If we have enough requests for the same or similar days/times we will do our best to accommodate and give you first option to book a place for your child.

Do I need to book my child a place on the sessions?

Yes. As places are limited it is very important to book in advance to avoid disappointment (this includes trial sessions).

Please call 07875233495 to book a place.

How do I pay for my child's sessions?

If you have booked 3 x trial sessions, these are all to be paid by cash at the first trial session. Following these you will be asked to complete a standing order form. The first month and the membership fee are to be paid by cash or Q at the same time the standing order form is returned.

If you choose to sign up for 12 months the membership is free (your child will still receive a Rugger Ratz kit).

Class Overviews

Ages 2 - 3 year olds

This is our Red class which includes parent participation and lasts for 30 minutes. During this class we will encourage interaction with parents as well as other children to build all important social skills. Our games and play are designed to encourage the development of core and motor skills, whilst having lots of fun. During these sessions we will use foam rugby balls to ensure safety at all times.

Ages 3 - 5 year olds

This is our Amber class which encourages more independence by asking parents to step back
(have a nice quiet cuppa in The Dance Mill lounge) while we spend 45 minutes building your child's existing skills and developing new ones. We switch to a size 2 rugby ball for these sessions giving the children opportunity to get used to a real rugby ball without it being too big or heavy.

We will start to introduce more rugby specific skills during these rugby play sessions, whilst maintaining the emphasise on fun.
