For many of you bringing your U6 boy/girl along to get them involved in playing rugby, this will be your first interaction with the club, a very warm Dragons welcome to you!
At this early age, the goal is to introduce the basics of the game - catching and passing, running with the ball, communication, the concept of attack and defense. For many kids, they will also be experiencing a team environment for the first time and we spend time working on both individual skills and in team situations.
As coaches our most important job is to make sure that the U6's have FUN! With that in mind, we try to balance our 1 hour sessions evenly between skills and games to keep the young ones engaged. We keep things simple and repetitive with progression on certain skills as we move on through the weeks.  There is little doubt the highlight of every training is firstly the Player of the Day (where ironically, we get everyone sitting nice and quietly awaiting the coaches' decision) and then it's icy bonbon time!
One word of advice, if you are a keen rugby parent, your enthusiasm may sometimes overshadow that of your boy/girl, we know ours did at the start! Give them time to get into the environment, they can simply observe if they feel comfortable for the first couple of weeks sitting with Mum or Dad or doing half the activities.  We're more than happy for Mum or Dad to join it to help ease their involvement into the group. We have kids of all backgrounds, shapes, sizes and skills levels. We welcome anyone to come down to training to have a run and see how they go.
The Dragons are a very family-oriented club, all the coaches are Mums or Dads and we get lots of participation from parents in our sessions which we actively encourage.

The Dragons U10 team is a great mix of seasoned players and new teammates. Many of the boys have been with Dragons Rugby Club since U5’s and we have players who may never have played rugby at all. Our goal is to make our training sessions as much fun as possible, whilst imprinting both rugby skills and sportsmanship. Our coaches can adapt each skill into levels that each player can grasp, building in greater skill levels as each player improves. This is all done whilst enjoying some fitness skills and growing as a team player.
A typical training session starts with our Dragons Identity and then swiftly into warm-up. Once all the players are suitably stretched, we focus on fitness. All our fitness sessions involve core rugby skills and mindset and of course, fun. We follow up with more involved rugby skills, checking where the natural talent of each player resides. This allows us to place each Dragon into a team position that suits them physically & mentally.
Each training session ends with a short game to ensure that the skills from the training session can be brought into a real match. This is always awesome fun for both new and seasoned U10 Dragons.
Feel free to join us for free trial sessions (register online with Dragons). We look forward to welcoming you into the U10 Team and the Dragons Rugby Family.
 
Our coaches want to give our young players the skills and love of this great game that will keep them playing & enjoying rugby for the rest of their lives.
We look forward to meeting you.

Welcome to Dragons U12 for the new season and welcome back to all our returning families and rugby players. We're looking forward to building on the strengths we finished last season with and continuing to welcome more new players to the team.
Our focus is to develop a love for rugby and all the benefits that come from team sport. In Under 12's players are still developing an awareness of the game of rugby, what the strategies are, decision making and what each position involves. Enjoying the game and playing it safely are our top priorities.
Making new friends, practicing new skills and learning about the ups and downs of competitive sport are all a part of being great team players.
We have a team of coaches and managers dedicated to the job of making sure everyone's looking forward to Saturday afternoon rugby. Our main training is at the UWC East ground in Tampines but we will have matches, visit other clubs to have friendly games at various weekend times and enter tournaments throughout the year.
One of the greatest things this game can provide is the joy of being part of a team,  working hard and succeeding as a group. Succeeding does not always mean winning, so we will teach the kids why this is so important throughout the year.
Training will involve in small parts the following:
·       Fitness training
·       Strength training
·       Ball skills
·       Individual skills
·       Team play
·       Leadership
·       Teamwork
I hope you're excited to come and play as we have a great bunch of kids ready to welcome more to the team.

Dragons Under 11’s are continuing their journey to perfect their skills playing contact rugby.  Our boys look forward to learning skills and playing games every Saturday.  During the year, we focus on making contact rugby safe and fun for our young Dragons.  The players are taught how to pass & catch, run & dodge, make and take tackles in a safe and controlled environment.  For our Dads and Mums who help out during the sessions, it provides a great bonding environment for the child and the parent.  Our energetic and enthusiastic boys have fun and engaging sessions every time they meet up!  It is always wonderful to see our Dragons play, learn and grow together as a team!

The Dragon's U9 Squad are passionate about having fun and this is the year that play transitions from Touch to Contact.  During the year we focus on making contact rugby safe and fun for our young Dragons.  Players are taught the correct technique to tackle in a safe and controlled environment, by IRB trained and experienced coaches.   The concept of a ruck and maul is introduced as players are taught how to contest the ball at the tackle. The U9 squad is a mix of players who started in the U5’s through to kids who didn’t know what a Rugby ball was until they joined this year.
Our goal as coaches is to give the kids the skills and the love of the game that will keep them playing and enjoying rugby for the rest of their lives.
Our Dragons participate in two Singapore Mini-rugby leagues per year with each league consisting of 8 games played over 4 weekends. There are also two 2-3 Singapore tournaments per year and for those willing to travel we participate in two international tournaments each year. Each tournament averages 6 games over the weekend.
 
The coaches are all volunteer Dads, with kids on the squad, who are passionate about sport and have completed International Rugby Board (IRB) Coaching and Referee Certifications or other recognised coaching/training qualifications.
Kids are welcome to come to trial classes before committing, so they can get comfortable with their fellow Dragons.  Training is every Saturday at UWC East playing field, if you’d like to come for a trail, please arrive 10 minutes prior to training start.

WELCOME TO THE UNDER 5's
(Training: Saturday 4.00pm - 5.00pm)
[Head Coach: Ben]
U5s is the youngest age group at Dragons Rugby, so this will be the first introduction to the club for many families.
This will likely be your child’s first experience getting involved in playing rugby and, as coaches, our most important job is to make sure that the U5s have FUN!
Our 60-minute sessions are a balance of skills training and games to keep the young ones engaged.
At this age, our goal is to introduce the basics of the game, catching and passing, running with the ball, communication & the concept of attack and defence. Many kids will also be experiencing a team environment for the first time and we spend time working on both individual skills and team situations. We keep things simple and repetitive, with progression on certain skills as we move on through the year. The highlights of every session are the Player of the Week Troph & icy bonbon time!
A word of advice, if you are a keen rugby parent, your enthusiasm may sometimes overshadow that of your child, we know ours did at the start! Give them time to get used to the environment. They can simply observe if they feel comfortable for the first couple of weeks sitting with Mum or Dad or doing half the activities. We're more than happy for Mum or Dad to join in to help ease their involvement into the group. We have kids of all backgrounds, shapes, sizes, and skills levels, and encourage anyone to come down to training and have a go.
The Dragons are a very family-oriented club, all of the coaches are volunteer Mums and Dads, and we get lots of participation from parents in our sessions, which we actively encourage. The kids love it when the parents join in!
If you want to meet the U5s and have a go, bring your water bottle and come along on Saturday afternoons to UWCSEA East Campus Tampines. Training time is detailed above (please arrive 10 minutes earlier).

We welcome and boys and girls with an interest in making new friends and learning about rugby. With the emphasis on fun, we learn to run, pass, tackle (touch), form our Dragon wall and respect the whistle! Whether you’re new to the sport or an old hand.
As coaches our most important job is to make sure that the U7's have FUN! With that in mind, we try to balance our 1 hour sessions evenly between skills and games to keep the young ones engaged. We keep things simple and repetitive with progression on certain skills as we move on through the weeks.  There is little doubt the highlight of every training is firstly the Player of the Day (where ironically, we get everyone sitting nice and quietly awaiting the coaches decision) and then it's icy bonbon time!

As coaches our most important job is to make sure that the U8's have FUN! With that in mind, we try to balance our training sessions evenly between core rugby skills along with games to keep the young ones engaged. We keep things simple and repetitive with progression on certain skills as we move through the year. Hopefully the kids are just having fun (but secretly learning rugby). The kids also learn good life skills, such as listening, working as a team to achieve goals together, hand-eye coordination and there is little doubt the highlight of every training is the Player of the Day Trophy, then it's icy bonbon time!
