Mini and Youth Festivals
Games for players in the U5, U7, U9 and U11 categories are hosted on a weekly basis in a festival format on Saturday mornings between 0900 and 1130 am, from the first weekend of May to the last weekend of June (Spring season) -and- in September/October (Autumn season) at local rugby clubs in the greater Edmonton area. This family friendly format allows players in all age grades an opportunity to play against teams from across Edmonton and area each week at the same time as their siblings and friends.
Games at this level are refereed by coaches or volunteers. There are dedicated first-aiders at each festival to ensure a safe environment for all and FUN is encouraged at all levels!
U13 and U15 boys and girls games are held on Sunday Afternoons beginning early in May and have the same Spring & Autumn seasons as the U5-U11s. These games are also held at local rugby clubs in the greater Edmonton area. Where possible, games at this level are refereed by accredited Match Officials. There are dedicated Firs-Aiders at each festival to ensure a safe environment for all.
Schedules for all games and festivals are communicated to all coaches and will be posted here and on our Facebook page each week.
