AGE GRADES + Training Times

TEAM Koalas AGE : 2 years

 Saturday (QLD term weeks)
TIME : 08:00 – 08:45AM

Our youngest class is a fun and engaging introduction to movement and early skill development, designed for our littlest members and their parents. Full parental participation is required, creating a great opportunity to bond while learning new skills together.

Each session begins with free play from 8:00–8:10am, allowing children to settle into the environment, explore the equipment, and become comfortable with their teachers and classmates. Teachers actively engage with the children during this time to build confidence and maximise enjoyment and participation.

The structured class then runs from 8:10–8:45am, focusing on agility and hand-eye coordination through fun, game-based activities, including the introduction of a touch ball, all within an engaging and educational environment.

Our 3-year-olds program welcomes parental participation, ensuring your child feels comfortable and secure as they begin or grow their Touch Rugby journey. This shared experience also provides a wonderful opportunity to develop a mutual interest and hobby that you can enjoy and practice together at home. Our sessions focus on developing agility, hand-eye coordination, and team unity through a series of structured, fun, and game-filled activities. We introduce the foundational skills of Touch Rugby, helping your child build confidence and a love for the sport in a playful and nurturing setting.

Our 4 year old program focuses on building foundational skills in a structured and fun-filled environment. While parental participation is not required, active supervision, cheering, and encouragement from the sidelines are essential to support our young players.

Our sessions place a slightly stronger emphasis on Touch Rugby fundamentals, such as understanding the importance of space and executing accurate passes. Alongside these core skills, we continue to develop your child’s agility, hand-eye coordination, and team unity through engaging and game-filled lessons.
