Private Individual or Group

Our Private Individual or Group sessions are tailored accordingly based on the objectives of the player(s).

Objectives are identified in the first lesson, where an assessment is made, and tests are conducted based on player(s) competencies and skills.
Lessons are structured thereafter, based on the findings and the needs of the individual or group.
Skill sessions may be used for players who wish to improve their touch rugby skills or for players who wish to transition into full contact rugby.
The Touch Rugby Lab also has access to fully accredited World Rugby coaches and professionals who are available for these sessions.

Make rugby more accessible

Touch rugby is a game for all shapes and sizes. To grow the sport, we need to create accessible platforms to help grow the talent pipeline. Touch Rugby will help do this! This will also help more players fall in love with the game.

Not only do we want to build the future of touch rugby (and rugby) in South Africa, we also aim to create longevity within the sport by introducing player pathways for players to represent their province and country, and become a lifelong player for life.

TESTIMONIALS

I was impressed across the board with this clinic. Angelo and Morgan did a great job making everyone feel very welcome when they arrived. The drills stayed simple and fun, but were effective at teaching attendees the basics of rugby. It’s a true testimonial that at the end of two hours that got a full team made up of players ranging from 15 years experience to first day of rugby run a 15s side up and down the field running actual rugby structure, including breakdowns. Unprecedented!
