Our Story
Most young rugby players get one session of organised rugby each week. Through their club or school, they train or play, and that's it until the following week.
For children who love the game and want to improve, that's not a lot of time. More Rugby was created to fill that gap — to give children who love rugby more opportunities to play, develop their skills and enjoy the game.
We started with holiday camps — a natural entry point that gives children extended time on the pitch without disrupting the club rugby calendar. We’ve now added regular midweek sessions, giving children another opportunity to play and develop throughout the season.
More Rugby is not an elite academy. We don't talk about professional pathways or performance benchmarks. We're here for the child who loves rugby and wants to play more of it.
“Every child who plays More Rugby should also be encouraged to play for their local club.”
More Than Sessions
More time with a ball matters. But so does confidence, enjoyment, friendship and giving children the freedom to try things, make mistakes and keep playing.
Our Coaching Team
Great children’s coaching takes more than knowing the game. Our coaching team has collectively coached more than 1,000 children across Worcestershire through rugby coaching, school programmes, holiday activities and weekly children’s sessions.
Our coaches have completed RFU training and are equipped to coach age-appropriate contact rugby and referee small-sided games. They also undertake first aid and concussion awareness training, alongside the safeguarding requirements needed to work with children.
Our Senior Coaches undertake additional third-party safeguarding and Prevent training, providing another level of experience and responsibility within the coaching team.

Most importantly, our coaches love rugby and love coaching it. That enthusiasm transfers to the children — creating sessions where they want to get involved, take on new challenges, develop and keep coming back for more.
What We Stand For
Every session is designed with children's enjoyment and development in mind. We use positive coaching methods that build confidence as much as skills.
We actively encourage every child to play for their local rugby club. More Rugby is an addition — never a replacement. We communicate openly with clubs and respect their role.
We create an environment where children are encouraged to try things, learn from mistakes and build confidence. Development matters, but enjoyment always comes with it.
All children are welcome regardless of ability or experience. We are fully safeguarding compliant and every child's safety is our number one priority.
