Rugby Fundamentals Scheme of Work

Kickstart Rugby Skills with the Rugby Fundamentals Scheme of Work!

The Rugby Fundamentals Scheme of Work offers a 6-week interactive curriculum designed for upper primary school students being introduced to rugby. The lesson plans are supported by videos from Richie Williams, Director of Rugby at Cambridge Rugby Club, guiding students through each lesson with the help of his youth academy players.

In addition to the lessons, you’ll receive a set of activity cards and peer assessment resources to engage students and enhance their learning.
