Farnborough
Under 8's - School Year 3
During rugby season, the Under 8s (school year 3) meet
at FRFC on Sunday mornings from 10am through until 12pm
for coaching (we meet on the field behind the clubhouse).
Some weeks we visit other local clubs for joint training.
Some weeks, we also enter a team into local tournaments.
So please ring and check before coming down. Details of
our fixtures for the season can be found on this website
too.

What is Tag Rugby ?
Tag rugby is a fast-moving, non-contact evasion game suitable
for girls and boys to play together. Its safe, non-contact
nature, combined with the fun and vibrance of the sport,
has meant that mini tag is now the RFU's official version
of rugby for under-7s and under-8s.

If you are interested in becoming a coach, please contact
Lee Young for an informal chat about the U8s style of coaching
and what they are looking for in a coach .
We have a thriving squad this season of both girls and
boys. We always welcome additional recruits from children
in Year 3. Feel free to print out this web page and pass
on to friends. Or simply email our details on.
Our main focus is on the children having fun, enjoying
ourselves and learning basic rugby skills through tag rugby,
the RFU's agreed modified version of the game for this age
group.
We welcome help and support from parents in any capacity.
Coaching:
We work on individual skills of:
Evasion - side steps, swerving, change of pace.
Handling skills - ball familiarity, static passing, moving
passing.
Tagging (Tackling) - positioning, awareness.
Decision Making as an individual
And group skills of:
Attack - working together to move forward including passing,
evasion and support.
Defence - keeping a defensive line, reforming a line, working
together.
Decision Making as a team.
And learning the rules of tag rugby and most importantly,
"having fun!"
Player of the Week
Each week the coaches award a player of the week
trophy to an individual who has put in a lot of effort,
listened and responded well to coaching, supported their
team mates and shown good skill and awareness.
