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.

Developing Personal Growth and Character

In addition to developing our rugby skills, our team places a strong emphasis on personal growth and character development. We believe that rugby provides a unique opportunity to build self-confidence, resilience, and leadership skills that will serve us well both on and off the field. Our team is a safe and supportive community where we can challenge ourselves, make new friends, and have fun while learning and growing.

Inclusivity for All Skill Levels

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

Rugby is an exciting and physically demanding sport, and at the U15/16 level, we will be playing full-contact games. We will also be engaging in regular contact training to ensure that we are fully prepared for the demands of the game. Our coaches are experienced and knowledgeable, and they are committed to helping us reach our full potential as players and as young men.

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.
