U16 Girls Rugby

The U16 Girls rugby program builds on the skills developed in U16s and introduces full fifteens laws. Players new to rugby are always welcome and are encouraged to register early and attend as many training sessions as possible for safety and enjoyment.

The focus of the program is the development of strong fundamentals for rugby with an emphasis on teamwork and having fun. In order to ensure the team’s best chance for success, our volunteer coaches are provided with appropriate training and resources.

Rugby is a team sport and needs everyone’s participation, dedication, and teamwork in order to succeed. These requirements mean that every player must move with and follow the play in order to be involved and support their teammates for the team to succeed.

Skills that will be focused on throughout the year will be running, passing, catching, tackling, creating space on the attack, alignment on defense, positional play/knowledge and rugby tactics and match strategy. These skills will be developed in training, fun exercises, game simulations, and the various league matches that we will be involved in throughout the season.

The U16 Girls season is split into a Summer 15s program and a Fall 7s program (Sept – Nov). There is a nominal additional fee for those players wishing to participate in the autumn 7s program to cover tournament registration expenses.
