Franchisee Spotlight: Transforming Lives with didi rugby

At didi rugby, we are proud to share the inspiring stories of our franchisees—individuals who have embraced the opportunity to combine their passion for working with children and sport into a rewarding business venture. One such individual wasn’t actively looking for a career change when they first heard about didi rugby. They had a stable job as a nursery nurse, but often found themselves yearning for something more—something that would allow them to make a bigger impact. Becoming a didi rugby franchisee transformed not only their career but also positively impacted every aspect of their life.

Why did They Choose didi Rugby?

The appeal of didi rugby was immediate for them. Our commitment to teaching children aged 18 months to 6 years the fundamentals of rugby in a fun, supportive environment resonated deeply. With their background in early childhood education, they recognized the value in didi rugby’s approach—focusing on building confidence, physical skills, and social development in young children. This unique opportunity allowed them to combine their expertise in early childhood development with their love for sport.

The thought of running their own business, creating a flexible lifestyle, and making a tangible difference in children’s lives was incredibly exciting. However, like many, they had their reservations about taking such a big leap.

The Leap of Faith

Leaving a secure job to venture into business ownership isn’t an easy decision, but the support offered by the didi rugby franchise network gave them the confidence they needed. From the beginning, our team provided thorough training, guiding them through every step of the business process—from marketing and session delivery to customer relations and financial management. They weren’t left to figure things out on their own, and that level of support reassured them they had made the right choice.

Hearing other franchisee stories—people just like them who had taken that leap and found immense personal and professional satisfaction—also helped alleviate their fears. Knowing they had a network of fellow franchisees to lean on for advice and support made all the difference.

Transforming Their Career and Lifestyle

Running their own didi rugby franchise has been an incredible journey for them. Not only have they gained the freedom to structure their work around their personal life, but they have also built strong relationships with the children and families in their community. Watching children grow in confidence, develop new skills, and make friends through rugby has been one of the most rewarding experiences of their life.

The benefits aren’t just limited to the children. As a franchisee, they have grown immensely both personally and professionally. They’ve developed new skills in leadership, marketing, and business management that they never imagined mastering. Running a franchise has given them a sense of ownership and purpose that their previous career didn’t provide.

On a personal level, the flexibility of being their own boss has been life-changing. They can balance work with family commitments, pursue hobbies, and take time off when needed. This freedom has brought them a level of fulfilment they hadn’t previously experienced.

Best Moments: Seeing the Impact on Families

One of their most memorable moments as a didi rugby franchisee was when a parent approached them after a session to share how much didi rugby had changed their child’s attitude towards sport. The child, who had always been shy and hesitant in group activities, had blossomed into a confident, eager participant. Hearing how didi rugby made a real difference in that child’s life was incredibly touching—it was a reminder of why they chose this path.

This is just one of many success stories. Every day, our franchisees see children come out of their shells, make friends, and develop not only physical skills but also essential life skills like teamwork, communication, and resilience. Knowing that they are part of this positive change keeps them passionate about what they do.
