ABOUT RUGBYKIDS
WE’VE A MISSION TO MAKE RUGBY MORE ACCESSIBLE TO CHILDREN IN SCHOOLS!
Back in 2006, rugby-playing parent Max Webb was trying to find a pre-school rugby class for his three young boys… but there was nothing of that kind around. Max realised he had spotted an exciting gap in the child development sector, and founded Rugbytots.
Rugbytots has since grown to become the world’s favourite rugby play programme. Over 350 franchisees help 80,000 children aged 2 to 7 take part each week, with classes in 20 countries on six continents.
It’s been an incredible success, with the Rugbytots brand now well known for teaching children in nursery or Key Stage 1. However, Max and his team realised many children still miss out on starting or continuing their rugby journey.
While rugby is taught at many UK secondary schools, girls and boys of junior-school age (Key Stage 2) often miss out. Also, children from some backgrounds feel rugby is a sport only other kids get to enjoy.
So, we created RugbyKids to change those perceptions and bring the many benefits of NON-CONTACT rugby-based training to children aged 7 to 11 in schools all across the UK.
We are doing this through our incredibly popular After-School Clubs, KS2-focused Curriculum Lessons, and new RugbyKids Camps during school holidays. These inclusive classes have been designed for girls and boys, tall and short, fast and slow, sport-loving and sport-shy.
Pupils don’t need any previous experience or knowledge of rugby, just an appetite for fun and a desire to try something new! Our classes appeal to children, parents, teachers and governors in equal measure.
All of this also creates an exciting opportunity for you as a franchisee to grow a successful and meaningful business!

Our Head Office team gives franchisees a level of support that we’re told is unrivalled in our industry. We welcome franchisees’ ideas, insights and feedback, and use this to shape the development of the company.
We continually invest in our systems and IT. For example, our booking system and customer-management database is now fully automated to help franchisees minimise admin time, and focus more on growing their business.
We are also members of the British Franchise Association (BFA), a standards-based organisation that promotes ethical franchising practice in the UK.
