helping to develop players of all abilities in the game in a safe, friendly, non-competitive and
enjoyable environment. All Roscrea RFC minis coaches are Garda vetted and Leinster Rugby branch

games is to ensure progressive skill development for all participants in line with the IRFU long term

offer a positive training and playing environment for your children. The advantages of playing minis
Rugby are numerous, as well as the benefits to fitness and wellbeing, being part of a team also
improves determination, resilience, social development and self-confidence.
