Why Play Vikings Rugby
WHY PLAY RUGBY
Why is Rugby Union such a great sport?
We know there are many sports for kids to choose from these days, and how to choose the best sport for your youngster is a popular topic of conversation among parents. Our view at Vikings Junior Rugby Union is that children should play whatever sport they enjoy the most. Some may enjoy the discipline of martial arts, while some relish putting in individual effort in the swimming pool and some can think of nothing better than playing soccer and striving to be the next Sam Kerr.
However, we obviously believe that Rugby Union can be a great sport for kids for many reasons, due to offering a range of physical, social, and developmental benefits:
Rugby involves running, passing, catching, kicking, and tackling, providing a full-body workout. Engaging in these activities helps children develop their strength, agility, coordination, and cardiovascular fitness.
Rugby is a team sport that places a strong emphasis on teamwork and cooperation. Children learn to work together, communicate effectively, and rely on each other to achieve common goals, fostering a sense of camaraderie and mutual support.
Through the challenges and experiences of playing rugby, children can develop essential life skills such as resilience, perseverance, and a strong work ethic. Overcoming obstacles on the field can contribute to the development of a child’s character.
