With its winter season of league play behind it the The Comox Valley Kickers club swings into a fun-filled summer full of rugby-related activities that offer something for every age and every gender. Thursdays at 6.30 p.m. will see the return of Mixed Touch Rugby at the club’s Fallen Alder facility. Men and women, and youth of all ages, are welcome to come out and enjoy this non-contact sport that provides a ton of activity and light hearted competition.
