On February 27th the Comox Valley Kickers Rugby Club begins its second Mini rugby program at the club’s Fallen Alders facility on the Royston Road. Children, both male and female, aged between six and fourteen are encouraged to sign up for six weeks of fun-filled, non-contact Mini Rugby. “Last year’s initial program was a huge success,” says Kicker’s Director of Rugby, Colin Chappell. “We had about twenty children and most of them will be returning this year. As well, I have had a good number of parents inquiring about this year’s program, which is very encouraging. The more the merrier.” Mini rugby involves non-contact and girls and boys play touch rugby together at the lower age levels.

The youngsters have the opportunity to enjoy the social side of the game at too, at non-competitive “Mini Rugby Jamborees” involving other clubs. All the coaches are qualified and certified to teach Mini rugby. “This year we are going to have Under-8, U-10, U-12 and U-14 age groups and registration begins on Sunday, February 27 between 10.30 a.m.and noonat the Fallen Alders grounds. It costs $75 to register and insure each child. Sessions will take place twice a week on Sundays at 10.30 a.m.and on Thursdays at 5.30 p.m.Jamborees are planned at the Cowichan Rugby Club on April 3rd and at the Nanaimo Rugby Club on April 17th. “I started playing rugby when I was ten years old...
