What is didi rugby?

Watch this video to learn more about didi rugby and find out why our classes provide the ideal start for getting young children active and healthy, while having fun and picking up confidence and key skills along the way.

Hear from parents whose children have been part of the didi rugby experience and have plenty of good things to say about how classes have helped their children develop in more ways than one.

• “It’s a really good form of exercise for them and it incorporates all sorts of games and that is why they enjoy it so much.”
• “It is not strict and they know they are going there to have fun.”
• “It’s not just about the game of rugby, it’s about learning how to be with other children and that is really good for them.”
• “Their confidence has really grown, not just in terms of their sporting abilities but them as little people and how they interact with others.”

Listen to founder and CEO Vicky Macqueen explain some of the benefits that didi rugby has given to children who have taken part in classes.

The didi rugby Reading team have celebrated an amazing year of growth by holding its first franchise Presentation Day at Reading RFC.

Owners Craig Hunter, Donna Clark and Clare Swadling have seen classes grow at an incredible rate in the area while formal links have been built with local clubs like Aldermaston, Reading and Thatcham.

The team is starting to work with Crowthorne RFC soon too.

didi rugby Reading’s inaugural presentation day attracted over 45 children from their classes, along with parents and relatives who played their part in a day of fun, activities, certificates…and burgers!

“We are delighted that so many people came along,” said Craig. “We have had some positive feedback from the parents and some lovely comments on social media too.

“We are hopeful of making it an annual event now.”

didi rugby Reading host 21 sessions a week at schools and venues across Berkshire and visitors on the day came from across that area.

“We held didi sessions for all three age groups on the day,” said Craig. “Every child got a didi medal at the presentations and we had a fantastic barbecue and photos afterwards.

The certificates were presented by Will Cowen who has been selected to represent GB at the Tumbling World Championships in Tokyo later this year.
