Rugby League increases Confidence:-

Rugby is a highly social sport with plenty of interaction between team members. Players will learn how to work well as a team and will think about how decisions that are made will benefit not just themselves, but also their peers. Rugby also teaches children that there are boundaries and rules which need to be followed and provides children with responsibilities.

Rugby provides children with equal opportunities to run with the ball, pass with the ball and play defence. Unlike football, it's much harder for a 13-a-side game to be dominated by one really good player, you need everyone to participate, and because of that nobody gets left out.

The teaching of safe tackling and safe contact in rugby is a must. In fact, Rugby has long since promoted safety across all sports in general. For example, all the talk in football about changing how players tackle has come from rugby while concussion protocol in sports has been led using approaches rugby teams have used for years such as mandatory and strict stand-down times.

All children who participate in rugby are taught to respect their coaches and referees. Children are encouraged to play in a fair manner and accept the role of the referee, which can be illustrated by looking at the excellent officiating from the group of World Cup 2015 referees. The referees set a great example to sport in general in relation to how a game should be played. When foul play did take place, the offending player was called over and responded immediately, keeping quiet while he was spoken to by the referee - illustrating how skills of discipline and self-control are considered pivotal to the success of the game.

Creativity and problem solving are both high on the agenda for children learning to play rugby. During the game, players will learn how to make tricky decisions which will in turn help them to gain confidence as they learn the rules of the game. Through rugby, children can develop the capability to analyse and deduce general principles in life which can in turn boost their mental, social and physical agility.
