How long is the Rugby Season? - April - June

? Our season typically begins in April with practices and games run May-June. As the season
is finalized we update the games, registration, and practices on our website.
? Please check back on our website in the next month as we finalize the details of the season
and update our website.
How do practices work?
? Our minis typically practice 1-2 days a week at the Westerra Fields in Stony Plain
How do games work?
? Games are currently being organized to be played on Saturdays at rotating Rugby fields in
Edmonton and surrounding areas.
? Games are played in a festival format.  Each age group is assigned a particular time to play
between 9am-1pm.  A series of 2-3 short games are typically played over a period of an
hour to an hour and a half.
? U5-U9 is a flag sport. The kids wear flags and a “tackle” is made when their flag is pulled. 
? U11 is an “introduction to tackling” game.  The kids are slowly phased into tackling for their
first few games.  Players will be playing rugby with full on tackling by their third game (given
that they have attended the required tackling practices prior to these games).
What equipment does my child need?

? soccer cleats (can be purchased at most athletic stores)
