Transition Year - Leprechaun Rugby

Transition Years are currently taking part in a Rugby coaching course called Leprechaun Rugby.    click here for:  Leprechaun Rugby website

Leprechaun Rugby

Leprechaun Rugby is a fast and exciting modified-contact game of 'touch' rugby designed to assist general physical development, to play an important role in 'games concepts' programmes and to introduce the game of Rugby Union to children in a very simplified form and is the formal introductory game to Mini Rugby.

Leprechaun Rugby aims to encourage the positive development of running and handling skills. Handling skills can be developed along with similar skills in sports such as netball and basketball but the new concept is that of only passing backwards, as in traditional Rugby.
