Esher Rugby Little Lions provides a fun-packed structured session for children aged 2 to 4 years, using rugby themed games and enjoyable play to teach your child to run with the ball, catch, pass, kick and play as part of a team. Little Lions focus on teamwork, respect, enjoyment, discipline and sportsmanship. Participation of a parent/gardian is essential to make the experience as complete as possible and to maximise the fun for your Little Lion.

We normally play on Sunday mornings from 09:30 to 10:15 at Esher RFC. No special kit required; we only ask for shoes to run in, clothes to get muddy in and an enthusiastic parent!

• How much does it cost to register?

  £56 per term, £16 per additional child. If you have a child in an older Esher Rugby age group, then your Little Lions child qualifies for the additional child fee.

  For the time being, registration is done via a PDF/DOC form, so please request the coaches to send it to you via email.

• Do we wear uniforms?

  By no means any requirement, but for anyone who is keen to kit out either the kids or adults in Esher Rugby gear, there are some great options.

  A size guide is available, but I anticipate most kids would have the 22" or 24" chest shirts. Please see the options labelled "Junior".

• What shoes should my child use?

  The ground can get muddy and wet, so ideally something that can keep your feet dry. Some people wear football boots, but this is by no means a requirement.

• What should my child wear?

  Please wear clothes that are comfortable for running around in and is not a problem if they get dirty.

  Layers are good for when it gets colder, and something waterproof for when it rains.

  Given the COVID situation, it is unlikely we will have the option to train inside the club house gym this year.

• What dates does the season run?

  Autumn term is September to December, Winter term January to March.

• Is it possible for me to help with the coaching?

  For sure!

  Please contact Monika or Steve, the two main coordinators.

• How do I join the WhatsApp group for more informal comms?

  Please contact the coaches for the link.

• How can I provide photos to be used on the club website and in social media?

  If you have any pictures from training sessions of your kids only that you would be happy to have posted on the website, please send through.

• How is the training structured?

  Training generally has 6 parts:

  1. Warm-up
  2. Run & Score
  3. Catch & Pass
  4. Coordination & Team Game
  5. Kicking
  6. Fun Games
• How do you announce when events are? How do you manage attendance?

  We do this via the TeamSnap app. This is used by other age groups at Esher too.

  Please contact the coaches for the TeamSnap link.

• When should my child move up to the next age group (Cubs)?

  The U5/U6 team is set up so that kids starting reception in the same year would move up from the Little Lions to this team.
