  • What do I need to bring with me?
    Although our sessions are held at Eastbourne Rugby Club, we do not have access to inside the clubhouse. For this reason, we ask that you wear your kit (which is what ever clothing feels comfortable for you to move in plus extra layers if the weather is cold) a full drinks bottle, a gum shield and appropriate footwear. Any additional items will be stored pitch side at your own risk.
  • Do I need to wear rugby studs and a gum sheild?
    Yes, you can wear studs but it is not compulsory. Please ensure that the studs on your boots are compliant with Rugby Safe Guidelines (Page 9). Alternatively, moulded boots or comfortable trainers are also suitable. With regards to gum shields, yes, you must wear one. You can find the latest RFU guidance within the Rugby Safe document above too! (Page 14) For our minis (4-5 year olds) no, they do not require studs or a gum shield.

  • Can I stay and watch the session?
    Yes, you are welcome to stay and watch the session if you would like to although you don't have to at all. You can just drop off and collect if you'd like to. We will be covering a lot of the pitch, so all we ask is that you give us plenty of room. There is parking alongside the pitches so that if you wanted to stay nearby you would likely be able to watch from your car too.

  • Will there be photographs taken of my child?
    During our sessions, there may be occasional photographs taken by the coaches and 360 Rugby team for social media usage etc. If you are unhappy with this, we will try to ensure that your child is not in the foreground of any imagery taken and if they are captured, their face is blurred so they are indistinguishable.

  • How will I know if my child is improving?
    Throughout each 360 Rugby session, we hope that your child shows an increase in understanding and skill acquisition however, progress is measured individually for all. We welcome questions from both yourself as parents and your child directly. Our coaches would be more than happy to give feedback or ideas for next steps, so feel free to ask at any point.
  • Does the strength and conditioning training involve weights?
    No. Throughout each 360 Rugby session, the strength and conditioning element is woven into the fabric of the session. All exercises are body weight based and will not include the use of additional weights.
  • What is the 360 Rugby approach?
    The 360 Rugby approach is our unique programme that aims to coach young athletes who are interested in any sport (not just rugby) to use a range of transferable skills from one sport to another in ways that improve their wellbeing and athletic ability. We hope to educate young sportspeople through the core values of rugby; teamwork, respect, enjoyment, discipline and sportsmanship. By having a player-centric approach we hope to create a space where our young sportspeople can learn and develop in a way that is responsive to their needs and allows them to find their own rhythm in their personal sporting development. Simply put, 360 Rugby develops athletes through rugby.
