Meet the Founder
Founder & Nottingham Rugby Player
Originally from New Zealand, Michael ‘Pickle’ Green has spent much of his life in high-performance rugby environments, with the game taking him around the world before settling in the UK. He currently plays for Nottingham Rugby and founded Rugger Pups to give children a fun, positive and age-appropriate introduction to rugby. His aim is to take the best parts of the sport, such as teamwork, confidence, movement, friendships and enjoyment, and deliver them in an environment where every child can take part and succeed.
Safeguarding & Professionalism
Relevant insurance, DBS and safeguarding information can be provided to schools as part of onboarding.
“Coach Pickle had an instant positive presence with the class. He instantly made good rapport with them, including making an effort to learn names.”
“The children really enjoyed the sessions!”
