Junior Rugby Calgary

The Saracens boast one of the largest junior programs in the province which serves both boys and girls rugby. All concerns and inquiries can be addressed by contacting Saracens Junior VP – Colin Hill colin01hill@shaw.ca or the designated coach of your age grade.

"All across the city this spring, soccer coaches and parents will be cringing and protesting as their wide eyed youngsters in the oversized shirts run up to the ball and try what comes naturally—to bend down, get two hands on it, pick it up and run.

 

Meanwhile, on the greener side of the field, all is right in the world as young rugby players soar in the natural freedom of running with the ball in their hands, owning it, and evading capture.

 

“Can I kick it?”, they always ask after running a couple of erratic patterns.  “Sure, go nuts.  Later on in your career, though, if you’re a forward you probably shouldn’t.” is the wise but tragic reply.

 

It is with this in mind that we invite you to sign up your youngsters to experience the joy and passion for the great sport of rugby this season."
