The Hull FC Community Foundation’s Rugby Development Camps will return for a new block of sessions in May.
The programme was established earlier in 2024, designed around helping young children build up their Rugby League skillset.
Akin to the existing Rugby Minis project run by the Community Foundation, the Rugby Development Centres will help youngsters between the ages of 5 and 10 learn some of the fundamental skills in the sport.
It is primarily aimed at young children interested in playing Rugby League for the first time, or those wanting to enhance their skills.
Specifically, drills delivered by the Community Foundation’s qualified coaching department will be based around how to correctly grip the ball, how to effectively carry the ball, passing and catching.
Plus, there will be small, sided games to help youngsters bring out their competitive edge, whilst building good team-work attributes.
Based at Active+ on Harpings Road, Rugby Development Centre sessions will take place on Sunday mornings, beginning on Sunday 12th May and running for a total of ten weeks.
The first session will take place between 10.15 and 11.00am (ages 5-7), followed by a session at 11.15 until 12.00pm (ages 8-10).
Each session is priced at £5 per person, and you can book the little ones on by following the link here.
Head of Community Programmes at the Community Foundation, Sam French, said: “This programme mirrors the framework of our successful Rugby Minis programme.
“The first block of sessions was a great success and we’re already looking forward to the next block of sessions getting underway, where we hope to see some new faces getting involved.
“We’re pleased to be able to offer weekly Rugby League development sessions for children in this age bracket that focuses on developing the core skills in the sport.
“The thinking behind the project is that we can build skill levels up to a certain degree that readies youngsters for roles in our local community clubs, where they can further continue their development and represent Rugby League.”
