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.

- 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.
