Rugby Rascals – Join our Jamborees!

Rugby Rascals – Join our Jamborees!

  Rugby is an amazing sport. It builds positive, strong attributes on a variety of levels. It promotes, first and foremost, team play. There are 15 players on the field, working towards a shared goal and supporting each other every step of the way. It also develops all kinds of muscles, ball skills, communication skills and hand-eye coordination. All things that benefit our little growing  stars a.k.a. the Comox Valley Rugby Rascals.   [important]Current Training Schedule[/important] Location: Lower Lake Trail Field, Courtenay B.C.

BC Rugby Union promo video launch

BC Rugby Union promo video launch

The video below is a key element in BC Rugby’s action plan to promote and streamline youth rugby across the province.  [HTML1] URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xqeXYPSd_Mw&feature=channel_video_title BC Rugby’s goal was to produce a promotional video that was tempting to young individuals across British Columbia looking to be part of a team atmosphere and engage in a dynamic sport.  Working with Brudder Productions, the concept of “it’s your turn to carry the ball” as a focus piece was developed. The themes of tradition, camaraderie and opportunity are central. The outdoor elements were utilized to accentuate the dynamic nature of rugby and the athletes were fully committed to each shoot to ensure the video represented the level of “compete” and “commitment” as key elements of the sport. In addition to being available for online viewing, the promotional video DVD will be affixed to the back cover of BC Rugby’s newest release of the Youth Rugby Manual.  All who receive the manual will be encouraged to show the video to young individuals who are current and potential rugby players. With the release of the video, the youth manual will now be mailed to clubs and schools in British Columbia.  Aligned with Sport Canada’s Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) plan, the manual provides a consistent youth rugby continuum for clubs and schools.  Youth rugby in British Columbia encompasses ages up to 17 and grades Kindergarten to Grade 12.  Each age / grade is provided its own section in the manual.  Each section includes a practical reference guide for club volunteers and school teachers to implement the continuum.  The laws of the game for each age / grade...
