TRY RUGBY
Are you looking for a sport that builds confidence, friendships, and real life values? Rugby is much more than a game, it's a community where children learn teamwork, respect, discipline, and the importance of supporting teammates, both on and off the pitch.
Inspired by the Rugby Europe 7s Trophy and Championship tournaments taking place this summer in Makarska and Split, we invite children and young people to discover rugby and take their first sporting steps in one of the rugby clubs across Croatia.
Rugby brings together players of different ages, abilities, and interests. Through fun and dynamic training sessions, children develop coordination, self‑confidence, communication skills, and form friendships that often last a lifetime. Training is tailored to children's age groups and is led by qualified coaches who create a safe, positive, and encouraging environment for every child's development.
For parents, rugby is a great way for children to stay active, build healthy habits, and become part of a sports community that nurtures fair play, mutual respect, and personal growth.
Perhaps that first training session will be the start of an unforgettable sporting journey. Come along, get to know rugby, and discover why this sport is winning over young people all over the world.
