These camps will fill up quickly and we are offering our JBAA families first chance to secure a place!

Please email Kelly at youthrugby@jbaa.ca to reserve your spot and/or to find out more information. 

Summer rugby options!

One of the most common questions we are asked is whether there are any summer youth rugby programs offered by the club.

While we don’t currently have any programs that run for full or half days during the work week, and we don’t have anything suitable for the Minis ages, a couple of our wonderful coaches have made a two options available:

  1. Tuesday Touch at 6 p.m. at Heywood Park with Coach Lisa:

    1. U12 and older age grades - including senior players and curious parents

    2. No previous rugby experience required

    3. Heywood Park is at the corner of Southgate St. & Heywood Ave: https://maps.app.goo.gl/PzMomCPL7QqhqYcz7

  2. Friday Skills at MacDonald Park at 6 p.m. with Coach Brian:

    1. U18 and older

    2. Some rugby knowledge expected (try Tuesdays first if you are first starting out)

    3. MacDonald Park is across the lane from our clubhouse (205 Simcoe)

Please note that while we introduced these as summer youth options, these sessions are open to adults and curious parents as well!
