Growing with rugby: from first tackles to top-level play

At ARC, the joy of rugby starts at a young age. In a safe and stimulating environment, children and teens learn the values of rugby through play: respect, teamwork, discipline, and perseverance. Guided by qualified coaches, they develop not only athletic skills but also confidence and lifelong friendships.

TBM (Turfs, Benjamins, Minis)  

For children aged 5 to 12, this is the perfect start to their rugby adventure. In small, age-appropriate teams, they learn to move, collaborate, and of course… fall and get back up. Training sessions are varied, playful, and always tailored to the children’s level. Parents are warmly invited to cheer from the sidelines or help out as volunteers.
In addition to regular training and matches, we also offer plenty of fun off the field. Each year, we host the delightful Pancake Challenge - a classic Dutch treat which is a tasty and sporty highlight for young and old. And in winter, we keep the rugby spirit alive with our Beach Rugby sessions, where kids can run and play in the sand—even in cold weather!

CJC (Cubs, Juniors, Colts)

From age 12, the game grows with the players. Matches become more physical, tactics gain importance, and team dynamics deepen. At ARC, we provide a solid foundation with two teams per age group each year. Our vision is clear: development isn’t always linear, and fun always comes first. We create space for both personal growth and athletic achievement. With a highly trained coaching staff and a clear technical rugby approach, we guide players in game insight, technique, and mental resilience—as well as in who they are and want to become.
