ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Thanks to funding from World Rugby and Rugby Canada, Rugby Coaching in Schools programming will aim to bring a new, fun, and safe sport into Physical Education classes and introduce students to a sport that is offered by local BC Rugby Member Clubs.
The goal of the programming is to create a pathway between the Schools and Clubs, which will help young students take Rugby beyond their PE classes to a local Rugby Club, where they can enjoy regular fun and games with friends.
Qualified NCCP Level 1 Coaches, with a direct link to a local BC Rugby Club, will deliver non-contact Rookie Rugby programming in local elementary schools for a pre-determined time in the Spring of 2023. Programming will last between 3-8 weeks.
