Teamwork and Sportsmanship

At Calgary Hornets Rugby, we believe that rugby is more than just a sport; it is a way of life. We emphasize the values of teamwork, respect, and sportsmanship on and off the field. We believe that these values are essential for your child’s personal and social development and will stay with them long after their rugby days are over.

Girls in Rugby

Girls’ rugby is a fast-growing sport, and we are proud to have a strong girls’ rugby program at Calgary Hornets. Our U15/16 girls team provides a supportive and inclusive environment for girls to develop their rugby skills and confidence. Our coaches understand the unique challenges that girls may face in rugby, and they work to ensure that every girl feels valued and included.

Parental Involvement

As parents, we encourage you to get involved in your child’s rugby experience. We welcome your support at training sessions and matches, and we believe that your involvement can have a positive impact on your child’s development. We also encourage you to help your child practice their rugby skills at home, as this can help reinforce what they learn during training.

Contact Training

Contact training is an essential part of rugby, and it is incorporated into our regular practices. Our coaches teach the proper techniques for tackling, rucking, and mauling, while also focusing on building strength and conditioning. Our priority is to ensure that your child is prepared for the physical demands of full-contact games while also promoting safety and minimizing the risk of injury.

Full-Contact Games

At the U15/16 level, your child will play full-contact games. Our coaches are experienced in teaching the proper techniques for tackling, rucking, and mauling while ensuring that safety is always the top priority. We understand that contact can be intimidating for some children, and our coaches take the time to build trust and confidence with each player.

Experienced Coaches

Our U15/16 team is coached by experienced and qualified coaches who have a passion for teaching rugby to young children. Our coaches understand that every child develops at their own pace, and they tailor their training sessions to challenge and improve each player’s skills. We also believe that having fun is an essential part of the learning process, and our coaches ensure that every training session is engaging and enjoyable.
