Preschoolers get a taste of the great game of rugby
The Rugga Kids skills development organisation visited Uplands last week and gave preschool kids a day to remember.
The children had the chance to handle a rugby ball and run around like real sport heroes.
Rugga Kids prides itself on teaching children a healthy and safe way to enjoy sport, and was founded in 2003 on a love for rugby and a passion for developing the game among the youth. The organisation provides kids aged three to eight with an amazing opportunity to enjoy an easy way of learning vital motor skills, teamwork and the necessary skills for the game of rugby – all in a fun, healthy, sociable way.
Three shareholders in this organisation have had prestigious careers in the game and now share their skills with the youth. Neels Brits was a former Blue Bulls Primary Schools Craven Week coach, Walter Minnaar a former Lions/Sharks rugby player and Phillip van Coller was a former Blue Bulls Craven Week, Blue Bulls u/19, Sharks u/19 and u/21 player.
