Junior rugby training will start outdoors in mid April Stanley Park. As in past years, we’ll get going bright and early at 9:00am till 12:00 noon… weather permitting. In the event of poor weather, we’ll move indoors. Check back for exact times and location.
The Canucks Junior Rugby Programs consists of four different age groups.
Each age group will have at least two coaches. During games, one coach acts as referee and one coach is allowed on the pitch behind their team during play to provide constructive positional advice and guidance to players.
The objectives of our junior rugby program are…
- To introduce players to rugby in a controlled safe environment
NOTE: all players are required to wear mouth guards - To help players acquire good basic rugby skills: passing, catching, running with the ball, tackling & kicking
- To develop teamwork and good sportsmanship skills among our players
- And most of all, to ensure all our players have fun!
The principles on which we run our junior rugby program are…
- Focus on participation & skill development. To help facilitate this throughout the league, a coach will be allowed on the pitch during games to provide constructive guidance to players.
- Players will be expected to play hard; within the rules and spirit of the game.
- Rugby is a team game; the best trys are those when all players touch the ball.
- All players & coaches must respect the authority of the referee and not dispute the referee’s decisions.
