U7 – U12 TEAMS | U12 & U14 GIRLS TEAMS
We’re delighted to be returning to Butlin’s award winning resort on the South Coast in 2026 to stage the Tigers Challenge. Butlin’s resort is booked exclusively for the festival, meaning around 175 mini and junior rugby teams from all over the UK will be taking part in the event.
The Tigers Challenge combines a professionally organised rugby festival for U7 – U12 teams and U12 & U14 girls teams, with superb touring facilities and accommodation options at Butlin’s resort in Bognor Regis. Join us on tour and make 2025 a year to remember for your players, coaches and supporters!
If you’re looking for a action-packed tour, there’s nowhere better than Butlin’s! The Bognor Regis Resort has a fantastic range of facilities for everyone to enjoy.
Butlin’s £40 million swimming pool complex includes flumes, Helter Skelter and Stick of Rock slides, a wave pool and Pleasure Garden river rapids – your children are going to love it! There’s also the Funfair with free rides, which is another firm favourite for our teams. For extra thrills, you can pay a small charge for activities like the High Ropes course with Climbing Wall and Zip Wire, Go Karts, Adventure Golf and Ten Pin Bowling.
When the evening comes around, there’s a great variety of live shows, tribute acts, live bands and discos, so your party will enjoy an amazing family entertainment programme, at no extra cost!
There’s a great range of accommodation on resort at Butlin’s Bognor Regis. Those who crave a bit of luxury can book into one of Butlin’s contemporary hotels – the Shoreline Hotel with fantastic sea views, the Wave Hotel with its own Games Port or the Ocean Hotel with its own spa!
