Can I come along for a trial session?

Unfortunately, Rugbytots does not offer trial classes as it often means that coaches are unaware of the numbers and the children attending. However, Rugbytots will refund your payment if you did not want to return after the first class. Please note the Registration fee is non-refundable as your kit will have been shipped.

My child is fairly small for their age, will they get hurt, and surely Rugby for toddlers is dangerous?
