Rugby

Mr. Assmus will be coaching rugby this year. Practices for boys and girls in Grades 7 & 8 will start on February 14th, 2023 please see full details in the letter attached.

Who can play?

This is a pretty equitable program for all kids as there is truly a place for everybody. We go through a whole graduated introduction to contact process with the kids so no experience is necessary. There are many non-contact components as well so everyone in grade 7 and 8 is welcome. In June Mr. Assmus will offer some non-contact programming for grade 6s. 

Rugby 101 Introduction to contact process will be followed for every player regardless of experience
