Experience The Joy of Rugby
With Rookie Rugby, experience the joy of playing rugby...
...in a Safe way: Rookie Rugby introduces the game of rugby in a safe way for kids of all ages. The game is a non-contact form of rugby using flag belts, allowing players to learn the basics while being active and having fun with their friends.
...within your community: Rookie Rugby is a game played in schools, communities, and back yards all across Alberta. Boys and girls of all ages and abilities can easily pick up the game and begin playing right away. The rules are simple, the game is easy to learn, and minimal equipment is required.
...as a new activity: Rookie Rugby offers a wide array of resources and materials to help teachers, parents, and volunteers offer the newest Olympic sport in P.E. classes, After-School programs, and sport programs everywhere. Kids will love this fast-paced, fun activity they can play with their friends.
AJRA has a Rookie Rugby manager to help you with a Rookie rugby session and to help you foster a rookie rugby program in your school, community, or club.
