Little Leprechauns is our program for introducing 3 to 5 year olds to rugby league through skill-based, non-contact activities and training drills. The program runs over 5 x weekly one hour sessions.
Little Leprechauns is based on the philosophy of learning through play. As well as assisting with developing hand-eye coordination and motor skills, the program promotes physical activity in a fun and interactive environment. Children of all skills and abilities are welcome.
Little Leprechauns runs over 5 sessions on Monday evenings in July and August each year. Each session will run from 5pm to 6pm.
Dates for our 2024 Little Leprechaun Program will be released soon.
As a guide, the participation cost for our 2023 Little Leprechaun program was $60. The cost for the 2024 program will be confirmed at a later date.
Traditionally, each participant will receive a Little Leprechaun t-shirt, boot bag, water bottle, football, medallion and photo as part of the program.
Any child aged 3 years to 5 years for the duration of the program can participate in Little Leprechauns. No previous rugby league experience in necessary.
While not officially part of the NRL's Munchkin League program, the Little Leprechauns program run by Brothers Juniors Ipswich is very similar. Both programs introduce 3 to 5 year olds to rugby league through skill-based, non-contact activities and training drills.
