Our Juniors program is the second stage of the CRP rugby coaching pathway. We focus on developing the skills mastered during Mini's stage. Students will progress onto the next stage of our 5 KEY COACHING ELEMENTS and concentrate on learning how to play modified games of touch and full contact rugby.
