Minis

Our "Minis/Midis" are focused around school years 5 to 7, the coaching keeps fun eliment from Tags, but brings in the the development of skills around taking the ball in to contact, basic scrumming and line-outs.

In Minis at Abbs, we follow the the Rugby Continuum as a structured progression to cover the introduction, teaching, playing and coaching of rugby with a strong focus on player skills with support of video coaching to ensure the "contact" part of the game is conducted safely, this is fully supported by our video feedback sessions as player health and safety is paramount.

We also begin to explore the various positions and roles within the game, and to test what has been learned, the minis often play matches against other teams from and around London and the home counties especially with our friends at Egham with whom we play a five match series for a trophy!

If you are new to rugby, then the link below will tell you about the positions and names within the game of rugby, going over this web site with a parent or friend who knows a little about the game can be good fun.

Abbs 2 (Trys) Egham 4 (Trys) - a good effort from a new team, with many great things to reflect on, going one try and down and getting back to 1-1 and then moving ahead to 2-1, but Eghams working as a team won over on the day!

Coach Mystic Mike (seen here), motivating his "Men" for a good second half performance; which is what we did, in short a good effort from a "new team", so eyes down, and dont be late for training next Sunday!!!

PS nice grub afterwards!
