Where the journey begins.
What is the programme about?
Rugby Explorers is our early years participation programme introducing children aged 3–5 to rugby through fun, non-contact sessions focused on movement, confidence and fundamental skills. Delivered at Barnby Road Academy Sports Hall on Tuesday evenings, the programme creates the missing link between our highly successful schools work and formal club membership — giving families a structured, affordable pathway into Newark Rugby Club from the very beginning.
