THE RUGBY CONTINUUM: The Rugby Continuum is a playing and coaching pathway by which Clubs and Schools introduce the game of rugby to young players. This is done in three incremental stages (referred to as "Mini-Midi Rugby") so that by Under 13 players have acquired the skills and knowledge required to participate in the full 15-a-side game. Each stage has its own rules distinguishing it from the adult game and should not be considered as being merely a shortened version of senior rugby. This progression has been structured to accommodate the changing developmental abilities of children as they mature with the emphasis being on the improvement of individual skills through purposeful and enjoyable activity. Provision is made for testing these skills in match situations during a limited number of competitive fixtures and festivals/tournaments each season.
The continuum is designed to cover mini and midi rugby for players in the age ranges of 7 to 12.
In addition there are U19 variations |
