Rugby Training

Home Ground & Training Venue

Dubai Lions trains at Dubai College on two full-size rugby pitches with access to floodlights, changing facilities and medical support, providing a safe and professional environment for all players.

At Dubai Lions Rugby Club, player development always comes before results.

Our coaching philosophy is built around creating confident, skilled and resilient young people through rugby. We believe that every player should enjoy the game, feel valued within the team and be challenged to become the best version of themselves both on and off the field.

Our coaches deliver age-appropriate sessions that focus on:

Building strong fundamental rugby skills including passing, catching, running, evasion and tackle technique.
Developing decision-making, game understanding and rugby intelligence.
Creating a safe learning environment where player welfare is always the priority.
Encouraging teamwork, respect, discipline and sportsmanship.
Supporting long-term athlete development through progressive coaching and clear player pathways.
Maintaining clear and open communication with parents by regularly sharing the club’s values, development philosophy and decision-making processes, helping families understand the reasoning behind coaching decisions and supporting a positive partnership in each player’s rugby journey.

Training nights for the 2026/27 season will be announced shortly.

Programmes will initially be available for:

Boys: U5-U19
Girls: U5-U19
