Mini and Youth Festivals provide an exciting opportunity for young players in the U5, U7, U9, and U11 categories to engage in weekly games in a fun, family-friendly format. Hosted on Saturday mornings from 9:00 AM to 11:30 AM, these festivals run from the first weekend of May through the last weekend of June (Spring season), and again in September and October (Fall season).

In addition to the younger age groups, U13 and U15 boys and girls also participate in games on Sunday afternoons during the Spring and Fall seasons, with efforts made to have accredited Match Officials referee these matches. Safety is a top priority, with dedicated first-aiders present at each festival to ensure a secure environment for all participants.

Game schedules will be communicated to coaches and posted here and on our Facebook page weekly. For any questions regarding the Junior Festivals, please reach out to the ERU VP Juniors

  • Youth Rugby Slide Show

    Glen Freeman of St. Albert created this fabulous slide show. Glen wrote “Couldn’t sleep, so I threw together a little slide show for the 2016 season. If I have under-represented a certain demographic: I’m terribly sorry. If I have over-represented my kids: Yup. It’s my camera, and I love them best. And I love rugby best, too. What a sport!
