Guppies and peats
The Guppies (under 6 years) and the Turven (under 8 years) learn to play rugby without contact, which is called TAG Rugby. TAG Rugby is a playful way to make the game of rugby their own. TAG is therefore a safe introduction to the game of rugby. Fun is the main focus.
In these age groups, the focus is on sport-specific development (not so much on rugby-specific development). Therefore, this lowers the threshold for both parents and children to introduce rugby at a young age. Through TAG-Rugby, players from the age of 4 are introduced to the sport and learn to avoid contact by applying the principles of rugby (possession, moving forward, giving support, maintaining continuity or applying pressure).
