Lisa Radford’s son Ryan was ‘always a bit of a bruiser’ and was up on his feet walking around at just nine months!
So, it was no surprise that the family chose rugby as a way for Ryan to use up some of his energy.
Ryan laughs with a didi rugby teddy and ball.
As soon as he was old enough to do so, Ryan joined didi rugby Reading classes at Blue Coat School aged 18 months.
It was the beginning of wonderful three-and-a-half years under the watchful eye of didi Reading coaches like Craig Hunter, who have just waved bye to one of their star pupils as he moves up to play tag rugby for local club Abbey RFC.
Fun and activity
“Ryan just loved didi rugby from his first visit and was running around loving all the fun and activity,” explained Lisa.
“He loved the things like having his ‘listening ears’ on and it was great development for his balance too. On the rare occasion that he was not in the mood for it, the coaches are so good with them and coax them, at their own pace, into getting involved. He has loved it ever since.
“He started developing a pride in what he did and would tell people that he played rugby.
“Coach Craig said that when he turned five, he could move up to a club and that has just happened with us joining Abbey RFC. It won’t be easy to leave didi behind because we have loved all of the games and the coaches too.

“He had his first go at Abbey a few weeks ago and we noticed that step up with a bit less guidance for the children but when he got going, he was so proud of himself. Now, he’s raring to go.
“It has been a relatively easy transition and his confidence has grown after years of great encouragement at didi classes.
“I will always have a good word to say about didi rugby and the people behind it. They have been fantastic and Craig even phoned us to say thank-you and wish Ryan good luck. That’s a lovely touch.”
Harrison Dearing is carrying on the family tradition and is thriving at didi rugby classes.
The three-year-old is having great fun taking part in didi rugby Reading sessions at Highwood Primary School, following in the footsteps of his older brother.
Jacob Dearing (6) spent over two years in didi classes having got involved as a three-year-old himself.
Now, he has taken the skills and confidence he learned at didi and is putting it to good use in the minis structure at partner club Reading RFC.

Whether Harrison will follow him when he becomes too old for didi classes remains to be seen. But for now, mum Karen is just happy they have both benefitted from what the didi classes offer.
“Jacob always loved running around when he was little and so we tried him at didi rugby after seeing it for the first time at a local fete.
Confidence blossomed
“His confidence quickly blossomed during classes at Blue Coat School, and the classes helped him to focus his energy too. The coaches’ approach was great.
“Jacob never really liked the warm-ups and would just watch for 5 or 10 minutes before joining in. But the coaches always coaxed him to get involved, with no pressure and, after a while, he just got stuck in straightaway.
“Now, Jacob has moved up, it has been great to see him playing at Reading RFC and he’s loving it. There have been lots of his didi class move up to Reading so he’s already got friends moving up with him.
“The other week he came to watch Harrison at didi and still joined in!
Family time for the Dearings
“Taking them has been something nice to do as a family too. We would all go to watch Jacob when he first started and, inevitably, when we had his younger brother Harrison, he wanted to join in too.
“Harrison loved getting involved in the Zoom sessions that didi did during lockdown and now he’s loving the classes in person.
Harrison Dearing
“He was shy to begin with but he loves getting involved and games like ‘foxes tails’ and the ‘obstacle course’.
“Both boys have loved collecting the coloured objects and taking them to the correct bucket. Harrison will count how many he’s got before he puts them in, providing colour recognition and numeracy in one!
“The boys have both loved their classes and their coaches. They are a really nice group of people at didi and have been great with both boys.”
