AFTER SCHOOL CLUB - FRIDAYS - DUFFUS PARK
• Every Friday 3.30-4.30pm, Duffus park rugby playing fields
• Wear old clothes you don’t mind getting dirty!
• There is an honesty tin and you put in a nominal amount of money (normally less than a £1 per session, per family)
• Ages 3-4 up to mid primary school
• Girls and boys
• Relative beginners
The after school club is a rugby based activity session with a difference! We actively encourage the parents (or responsible adult who brings the child) to take part in some of the session. The games and activities have a rugby theme that could be developed into the game but this is normally cunningly disguised as a fun task. We quite often play a game of touch rugby at the end of the session.
Although the games are rugby based i.e. we use rugby balls and the skills lead to rugby game development, we do very much cater for relative beginners of rugby. The sessions are aimed at both genders and for children aged 3 to 4 through to mid primary school level. Due to the informal nature of the sessions we would love you to come and try (pardon the pun) a session and as there is no sign up fee you are not committed to coming back should you or your child not enjoy it.
If you would like any more information please contact me (Joanna Laing) on 01334 653228.
