Getting children involved in rugby may seem intimidating to some parents but it is a sport that can provide numerous benefits for youngsters, both physically and mentally.
Rugby is a sport that involves tackling, running, passing and kicking. It teaches motor skills, helps to breed confidence and encourages camaraderie and friendship.
didi rugby classes are for children aged 18 months to 6 years old.
While our classes may not involve any physical tackling, the other benefits of the sport are greatly demonstrated throughout our classes.
The benefits of rugby classes for children
Physical fitness
Rugby is an excellent way to get children active and to promote movement and exercise. It requires a great deal of strength, speed, endurance and playing the sport can help children develop the basics of these qualities. Rugby also helps to improve coordination balance and agility as well as overall cardiovascular health.
Teamwork
It is a team sport that requires players to work together towards a common goal. Even at a young age, this can teach children important skills such as communication, collaboration, and leadership. Rugby can also help children learn how to support and encourage their teammates, which can be valuable in all areas of life including school.
Discipline
Rugby requires a great deal of discipline and self control young children who play rugby young children who take part in didi rugby classes learn how to follow rules, take direction from coaches listen to instruction.
Resilience
Rugby can help children to develop resilience and the ability to bounce back from challenge. Our classes incorporate children having fun and building resilience through games and obstacle courses.
Confidence
Rugby can help children develop confidence in themselves and their abilities. As children learn new skills and techniques, they can become more self-assured and feel more comfortable taking risks. This can be particularly valuable for children who struggle with self – esteem or shyness.
Social skills
Children who take part in rugby classes from a young age, including preschool, grow and flourish in social situations. Interacting and playing with other children within the rugby class, builds social skills and confidence.
didi rugby classes are launching in Sandbach – and they are doing so with a bang!
Sandbach Rugby Club are right behind the set-up and will be providing full support to the new sessions, which are set to begin in June.
didi rugby Stone and Stafford head coach, Ros Wiggins has expanded her remit and will be running the classes with the support of local coaches.
What has really excited Ros is the support she has received from Sandbach RFC, who say they are very keen to fully integrate didi rugby into their juniors set-up to provide a pathway from 18 months, right up into senior rugby for both boys and girls.
didi rugby has similar links with dozens of local rugby clubs across the country.

“The club and director of rugby Andy Bird, have been really supportive and they can see the benefits of starting rugby coaching early on in children’s lives,” said Ros.
“Their junior set-up is already huge and very impressive, so I am delighted that they are keen to include didi rugby in their integrated club structure.
“Sandbach RUFC have been very welcoming and have told me they are keen to extend the family feel around their club to include youngsters of didi age, so they can get involved in having fun while their elder siblings play for the mini age-groups teams.
“When we are up and running at the club, we will be looking to expand into the schools and nurseries in the Sandbach area too.”
Sandbach RUFC
didi rugby CEO and founder Vicky Macqueen said Sandbach RUFC’s support has been very welcome.
“It’s great that they are keen to get didi involved with the club,” said Vicky. “Ros has done a tremendous job with the kids in the Stone and Stafford area and she will be bringing lots of experience and energy to Sandbach too.”
With sessions set to begin in early-to-mid June, didi rugby classes for 18 months to 6-year-olds will be held on Friday afternoons. Then Saturday mornings will also see the full range of didi age groups in action.
Dates and times will be confirmed in the near future.
New didi rugby Lichfield owner Emelie Denham owes an awful lot to her childhood next-door neighbour.
At the age of 15, Emelie was at home one day with her sister Rosie when there was a knock at the door.
Neighbour Tom was standing there. He was off to play rugby for the first time at his local club and was nervous about going on his own.
Encouraged by his mum to ‘see if the girls next door wanted to come’, Tom asked if they fancied keeping him company. The two Denham sisters decided to go with him and try a new sport for girls who, at the time, played cricket (Rosie) and football (Emelie).
Lichfield Women
It was probably one of the best decisions that Emelie has ever made.
She has gone on to earn representative honours with the Wales 7s development squad and played in the Welsh Premiership, as well as for Lichfield Women in England.
She still plays as a hooker and prop for Lichfield Ladies, coaches the Staffordshire Women’s Under-16s and Under-18s teams and is soon to begin to study for her Level 3 coaching course.
Even Emelie’s day job is based around getting people active as a sports development officer in primary and secondary schools.

So, didi rugby is very lucky to have its newest franchise owner ready to spread the word and get more little children active in the area.
“I basically get lots of young people active and having fun,” says Emelie. “Encouraging them to get involved in events, refereeing and activities.
“It’s very rewarding. I have just finished with one group of Year 10s who I have been working with to teach them leadership qualifications.
Having fun
“I got into didi rugby by accident when a friend asked me to cover a class and I have been covering didi classes near where I live for the last five years! You could call me the ultimate cover teacher.
“When the opportunity to run the Lichfield area came up, I jumped at it and am really looking forward to seeing lots of new faces and having fun with the children and parents in the area around Lichfield Rugby Club.
“There’s no better feeling when working with any age group when you see children and adults who suddenly ‘get’ what you are teaching them. It’s great to see them enjoy what they are doing and having fun.”
didi rugby CEO
didi rugby CEO and founder Vicky Macqueen said Emelie has a huge amount to offer.
“We feel very lucky to have Emelie on board looking after the Lichfield area,” she said. “She has been involved with didi rugby for years and knows the programme inside out.
“She gets up in the morning to encourage people to be active and that is a great mindset for running didi rugby classes.
Lichfield Rugby Club
“Emelie is well-known in the area and has a lovely manner with children who I am sure she will inspire to have fun and learn new skills.”
Tom… if you are reading this…you did a good job!

A campaign by England’s victorious Lionesses football squad has led to a pledge by the Government that girls will have the same PE opportunities as boys at school.
The announcement makes it clear that girls and boys should be offered the same sports during PE and extracurricular time in schools.

The #LetGirlsPlay campaign was launched by the Lionesses squad and the FA after the England Women’s team’s success at the Euro 22 tournament last year.
Schools are also being asked to offer a minimum of two hours curriculum PE time each week.
didi rugby CEO, Vicky Macqueen, welcomed the move and said it was great news for all youngsters at school, as well as the future health of our nation.
PE opportunities
“We have always promoted didi rugby classes out of school time – and our didi sports offering in school time as a place where both boys and girls can flourish,” said the former England Women’s rugby international.
“Sport has made me the person I am, so I need no persuading that this is a great idea.

“I am also fully behind the move to give children two hours of PE provision a week at school. PE can often play second fiddle to more academic lessons and so I am delighted that our children will be able to spend more time running around, being active and having fun.
“Participating in sports is a great way for young children to not only have fun but also develop crucial life skills. At didi rugby, our classes are all based around children having fun, gaining confidence and getting active.
didi sports at school
“We also offer rugby, cricket, basketball and dodgeball under our ‘didi sports’ brands to all nurseries, pre-schools and primary schools settings.
“Getting involved in sports at a young age can have a significant impact on a child’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being so we are all for it and welcome the work of the English FA, the Lionesses and the Government’s on this.”
