What to Expect

Each team will practice twice per week beginning early January 2025.

Throughout the season, we will progress the tournaments from touch rugby to full tackle as the season progresses.

Each competition day is played in a round robin tournament format.  At lower levels there will not be scrums and lineouts, simply play freely and open rugby.

Practices will begin in early January 2025.

Competitions will be held on weekends from January 18th through March 15th.

Additional fundraisers and social events will be held throughout the year.
