Message from our new Youth Coordinator

Greetings JBAA family and new members!

Rob Nichol, JBAA Youth Coordinator

My name is Rob and I'm excited to be the new Youth Coordinator for the James Bay Athletic Association. I have more than 20 years experience coaching everyone from youth to Premiership and in four different countries. I intend to build upon the great work that's already been done and aid our coaches in providing your children with the best possible sporting experience!

I’m happy to say that registration for the 2022-23 season is open! Follow the links on our website or let me know if you need any assistance.

We have committed to running a team at every age group this season, each with a handful of leaders. If you think you might like to pitch in as a co-coach or manager, let me know. I am nearly finished a comprehensive resource to support our coaches with modern instructional strategies and fun activities.

I also want to add more to our social media channels; informing, connecting, and celebrating all that we do across all teams in this wonderful rugby family. Connect to @jbaayouth on Instagram to see what we're up to. We’d also love for you to share your rugby stories, anything from getting ready for practice to representing Tide or BC. So be sure to tag us and we’ll share to our reel.

We’re busy preparing for another fun season and will share more information in the coming weeks, but feel free to reach out with any questions you have, suggestions, or simply to say hello.

We look forward to seeing you again or meeting you for the first time!
