Aaron L’Arrive has been with the Comox Valley Kickers for half of his twenty-eight years and he has done every job asked of him from bartending, to managing theequipment, to cleaning up after any and every kind of club function. Now he has stepped up to take on the task of coaching the Senior Men’s team when recent knee surgery forced his early retirement from playing. “I think I offer a fresh perspective to the coaching role,” says the former hook. “In the past we have gone out and trained and done drills but no one has ever explained why we’re doing this stuff. I intend relating everything to game situations and explaining why we’re doing it. I want to make it interesting and to let people have fun while they’re doing it.” Aaron joined the club as a Junior Kicker out of HighlandSchoolin 1997 following in the footsteps of his elder brothers Justin and Michael for the Kickers in the early ‘90s. “In those days we would play our Junior game and then suit up for the men’s team. We got lots of game time.” “I want to change the Kickers style of play and use our hands more, have quicker offload, keep the ball up off the ground and not just pound our way up field by rucking and mauling. It will require more fitness but it will be a much more enjoyable game to play and to watch,” says the new coach. “As someone who has just retired and as someone who is a peer of most of the guys will be coaching, I can’t walk...

Mark February 6 and February 12 in your calendar! SUPER BOWL SUNDAY AT THE CLUBHOUSE Super Bowl Sunday kicks off on February 6 at 3 p.m. at the clubhouse with food, drinks and a chance to make “big” money if you select the correct quarter-, half- and full-time scores. Bring your friends to the newly renovated clubhouse for a fun-filled afternoon of the game the Americans stole from rugby because they couldn’t figure out how to play our game properly. The Men’s team have a bye that weekend so we expect everyone will be looking for something to do to fill in the vacancy. Come on down!! PROCRASTINATORS CHRISTMAS PARTY After being postponed a number of times, the club’s Procrastinators Christmas Party is set for Saturday February 12 at 7 p.m. in the clubhouse. This is a “smart casual” event for members, family and friends and for our Fallen Alders’ neighbours. Club’s chefs will be serving hors d‘oeuvres and delicious nibblies all night long — all cooked in our newly renovated kitchen. A $10 cover charge/person will cover all you can eat and will give you a chance to win an expensive door-prize. Last year John Waters and his wife won a two-night stay at a Tofino resort. Everyone is asked to bring a “cheap, cheerful and humorous” Christmas gift, worth not more than $5. The giving and opening of these will add to the fun. Last year we hosted a very successful TAPAS NIGHT – our first event in the clubhouse – this PROCRASTINATORS CHRISTMAS PARTY is the follow-up to that event and will give us a chance...

Fancy coaching? Local school rugby programs, the lifeblood of the Kickers, are looking for knowledgeable rugby coaches to assist them with their rugby programs. “These programs are the supply line to Kickers Rugby,” says Kickers Director of Rugby Colin Chappell. “Some Kickers are already helping with a variety of programs, however more assistance would be a great benefit not just to the schools, but to the club as well, because players from these school programs supply the talent that keeps the Kickers going.” This year the Kickers R.F.C. will begin an U-14 and an U-15 program starting March 3rd, and in the Fall the club will have a U-15 program, an U-17 and an U-19 program. Colin Tinga at Higland High School is hoping to start a rugby program beginning with a Junior and a Senior team playing exhibition games. He would be delighted to have some help. Highland used to have a vibrant rugby program for many years but for the past few years there has not been one there and it would be terrific to see that program resurrected. If you would like to help with the Highland program or indeed with any school rugby program please talk to Kickers Director of Rugby, Colin Chappell –(W) 250-334-1882 or on his cell: 250 -207-1125. or by e-mail: chappell.cd@gmail.com or at the clubhouse after training and games. ...
