Rugby union is a driver for positive change in schools, providing a unique variety of development opportunities for teachers and young people.

The new Rugby Curriculum Resource for Primary Schools has now been launched on-line. The Game centred and skill based, the resource helps children to develop their understanding of tag rugby using innovative, progressive and enjoyable session plans. The activity and game cards can be tailored for any playing level and have been specifically designed for teachers and coaches with little or no rugby experience.

In addition the RFU Secondary Rugby Curriculum for Schools KS3 lesson plans have been produced in a new easy to read and print format. This set of four resources supply a terms worth of rugby lessons covering years 7, 8 and 9 as well as specific Tag to Tackle sessions.

All of the PE lesson plans, plus Rugby World Cup cross-curricular resources are available to download free from www.rfu.com/schools
