About the Tiny Tacklers Kids Rugby Programme
An Uniquely Designed, Fun Rugby Programme For 18 Month To 7 Year Olds
The programmme is focused on the FUNdamentals of physical development and fundamental movement, hand-eye coordination, ball handling and running skills, and also, very importantly, building confidence in each child, through the development of their social skills.
Tiny Tacklers is our early years programme, designed to develop the movement skills and basic rugby skills and to help kids to be more confident within themselves, and get them ready to when they can join or transition to a rugby club or sports club.
We create an enviroment in which to learn these skills, through many fun and engaging activities.

We run the following age group classes:
18 month to 3.5 year olds
3.5 year to 5 year olds
5 year to 7 year olds

Minimum Numbers per Class, Camp or Events
For us to run a healthy business and provide the best possible product we can only run classes, camps and events where we have minimum numbers. This depends on the venue, coaching and relevant cost. The following is guideline of minimum numbers:
Weekly class/session = 8 or more
Camp per day = 10 or more
Events = 10 or more
Times, Dates & Venues
The session you signed up for will run on the same time each week and during the term. We will aim to communicate in advance should a time, date or venue change occur for a particular class. We hire the venues and at times the space might be required by the organisation we hire it from or they might ask us to change the times. If we can make alternative arrangements we will.
As we build the numbers in our classes per venue, we tend to combine two different age groups to get to the minimum numbers. This will mean that the time you booked for, might be earlier or later to accommodate this. We will communicate this with you.
Cancellation / Refund policy
You can cancel for a full refund, at anytime up to two days before the first session of the term or camp starts. We suggest a free trial class first (FREE TRIALS are not applicable to events or camps), before you pay for the whole term. Should you want to cancel during the term, you will receive credit to use for future sessions and it is only transferrable to a sibling, and not to friends unfortunately. This will be effective from the day you cancel.
For any issues you can call us or email us at creators@therugbyuniverse.com
