July 15, 2025

🗓 August 24 & 31 | 20 Spots Available | Onetime $10 fee

We’re thrilled to invite you to Mixed Ability Rugby, happening August 24 and 31 - a fun, introductory, no-contact game of rugby designed for all abilities, including individuals with disabilities, autism, or anyone looking for a safe, supportive way to get active. This unique program includes two separate classes per age category.

One class is for youth ages 8 to 17, and the other is for adults 18 and older. The program uses rugby as a tool to promote inclusion, confidence, and connection through adaptive sports. The cost is $10 and covers participation in both weekend sessions. Each class is limited to only 20 spots.

What You Can Expect:

  • No tackling – completely non-contact (flags will be used), with a focus on movement, fun, and teamwork
  • There will be a tackling station where bags and padding will be provided if you or your child would like to experience using rugby practice equipment
  • Mixed abilities welcome – designed for youth and adults with disabilities, autism, or no prior experience 
  • Safety reassurance – led by coaches trained in adaptive and inclusive sport practices
  • Supportive and introductory – perfect for anyone new to the sport. A strong focus on belonging, confidence, and making connections through play

With guidance from skilled coaches and staff experienced in adaptive and mixed ability programs, participants will enjoy a welcoming introduction to rugby fundamentals, designed to be inclusive, accessible, and fun for everyone.

Whether you're trying rugby for the first time or looking for a more inclusive way to stay active, Mixed Ability Rugby is your chance to step onto the pitch in a safe space where everyone belongs.

Let’s learn, play, and grow together.
