3. Rugby will teach them discipline.
I remember being absolutely terrified of misbehaving in an U9’s training session as my coach scared the life out of me.. but it taught me so much discipline. Let’s just say I did not dare talk when he was demonstrating a drill or otherwise off we go on laps around the pitch as punishment.
Having to listen to a coach’s instructions, learning to play by the rules and remembering that things will not always go your way was invaluable.. you might even start seeing more positive comments at school!
