Minis Fall Season

The Edmonton Rugby Union will be running a short fall season with the first game on Saturday September 6th. They are currently setting the schedule but we’ve been told that games will run Saturdays between 10am to 1pm with a similar format as we played in the spring (typically the U7/U9s played in the first hour, the U5s after that, and the U11s in the last hour). Game are played at various rugby fields in Edmonton and surrounding areas. As soon as the schedule is set, it will be updated in Team Snap. 

Practices will run Thursdays from 6-7pm at the Westerra Fields. Our first practice will be THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 4th. As our fall season typically has less players, we will all be at the same field to ensure we have enough players to practice effectively. Coach Jess and Coach Kate have volunteered to take on our U5s and U7s. And coach Emily will be taking our U9s and U11s. We're also looking for a U9 Parent who could help out on Saturday's during game time.  I have a course that I'm enrolled in for September so I will no longer be able to coach the U9 games on Saturdays.  Please let me know if you're interested in helping out on game days. 

We are also asking all of our U9s and U11s to bring a mouthguard to practices this fall. Those born in 2017 will be aging up to U11 NEXT year but we’re using our fall season as an opportunity to introduce them to tackling and some of the new rules in U11.

There is no additional fee to take part in the fall season. Those players who played in the spring are eligible to play with the same registration. If you have friends who are interested in joining for the fall season, unfortunately it’s the same fee whether you play just spring, just fall, or both seasons. Rugby Canada was unwilling to adjust the fee schedule.
