S4K Toddler Rugby is aimed at providing our little ones with their first introduction to sporting life and ranges from 18 months to 3 years.

Toddlers are able to join in with exciting and imaginative games aimed at introducing them to structured learning and social skills like turn taking. This is not just an introduction to rugby, but also for life in nursery and pre-school as we include key Early Years Framework initiatives.

S4K Tots Football is for babies and younger children beginning their activity sporting life and usually ranges from 18 months to 3 years (although we do have some children who join us at 16 months). Child development - motor, cognitive and social - is very important at this age.

Based on the Montessori child learning method and the Dutch Coever, Spanish Tiki-Taka and Brazilian Fustal coaching techniques, S4K Tots provides toddlers with the perfect introduction to the beautiful game.

Our toddlers will walk, run, listen and take direction from our coaches as well as mum and dad in our parent-child tots class. Learning to learn and experiencing group activities are all part of the S4K Football and Rugby entry level experience.

Our rugby ball is specially designed, small and weighted, and provides our toddlers with experience of the shape and behaviour of the ball when dropped, kicked and thrown. Our S4K Rugby Player Pathway demonstrates that children can be taught precision from an early age and the size of our ball assists with learning the correct holding technique.

Our S4K Rugby Player Pathway encourages development of hand-eye and foot-eye coordination from a young age so that our toddler's feel comfortable and natural with the ball. Lots of celebrations and cheers are the flavour of the day as our toddlers feel like champions kicking conversions and scoring tries after negotiating tunnels and hurdles with their favourite rugby ball.

The bond between parent and child during our sessions is special and the circle of trust between coach, child and parent allows us to improve every child’s skill level in football / rugby and other areas of the Early Years Framework.
