Welcome to the Clansmen Junior / Mini Rugby site.

The 2008 season is quickly approaching with registration starting in February and the season starting in the beginning of May.   The Clansmen Junior / Mini rugby program is committed to offering a mini-rugby program that promotes rugby at the grassroots level.  The ultimate goal is to develop a positive environment in which the participants:

· Have fun by creating a safe and fun community for young rugby players, both boys and girls

· develop strong rugby skills

 

Rugby is a game everyone can enjoy

…. no matter what shape, size, sex or age you are.  Rugby is a game to play with friends. It’s about joining a community and making lifelong friends. By playing rugby, children learn real life values like teamwork, pride and camaraderie.

 

Why Play?

Coaching: mini coaches are well trained and must be certified before stepping on the field. safety is #1 for our minis.

Please Note: While the club strives to keep fees as low as possible, especially for younger members, there are several factors that have unavoidably led to fee increases this season. They include a significant increase in the cost of insurance for both players and club as well as commitments for maintenance to fields and club facilities.

 

Fees paid to enroll in Youth Rugby programs are eligible for the government's new Children's Fitness Tax Credit (valid tax receipt required)

 

The Club will issues tax receipts by the end of November 2008. Any individuals withdrawing & receiving a refund will not be issued a tax receipt.
