JUNIOR FESTIVAL SERIES

Our Junior Rugby Festivals are designed to provide more opposition at the right level of play, for getting the most out of your game time. 
While we are keeping scores and tracking game-specific information, the end result of the match is not our focus; instead, these events are complementary to regular season play where results count and teams progress towards playoffs.
Enabling teams to choose the appropriate level of play – Regional Division (Recreational), Provincial Division (Competitive), or National Division (Elite) – allows for newer players to get additional game time, for coaches to try new ideas or game plans and for parents to watch their kids get more playing time:
Regional Division (Recreational, U14) Provincial Division (Competitive, U14 - U18) National Division (Elite, U14 - U18)
Following each of our Junior Festivals, we will be hosting Skills and Drills Clinics: a series of clinics with a specifically curated curriculum that is age-appropriate, technically and tactically advanced, and designed to push players, help them learn and provide guidance for self-improvement.
