The Warriors Junior Academy offers rugby activities for children and juniors from age 3-18, in five different age groups (U4, U6, U9, U13, U17, boys and girls in mixed teams). We offer a one-month free trial, after which you can decide whether to sign up. We offer weekly training (Tuesdays) all year round, in Talin liikuntapuisto (Summer) or nearby schools (Winter). Additionally there are special sessions and opportunities to play with other junior rugby teams.
Coaching is bilingual (English and Finnish).
Rugby is an active and versatile team sport for all shapes and sizes, which involves running, passing, kicking, coordination, tactics, and strength. At junior level, the focus is on playing, fun and moving around, and children will only ease into contact and tackles after they have completed a certain amount of training. Juniors will learn to safely tackle step-by-step, first mostly through wrestling games and by tackling soft foam pads. The physicality increases with age, and juniors 15 years and older transition gradually towards the adult teams once they are ready.
We always welcome newcomers to our training! No previous rugby or sports experience is needed. Click on the "Get in touch and try rugby" button, or contact us via Email to join our training.
