Rugby
Rookie Rugby is Rugby Canada's national rugby program. This is a co-ed, non-tackling game for children ages 4-15. Rookie Rugby is a fun and active start to being part of a team through the joy of rugby. By developing the principles for the love of physical activity, team work and the skills of rugby at early ages we are aiming to develop strong values and skills that can be used throughout a lifetime.
