This Sunday (March 6) the North Shore’s Capilano Rugby Club will join other clubs from around the province in offering a free event for girls interested in trying the sport.
Girls Try Rugby, presented by BC Rugby, is for girls age 5-14 who have either have never played rugby, are curious about the sport, or are just starting out. Members of Capilano’s senior women’s rugby team will be running the event at Klahanie Park from 10 a.m. to noon.
The event will include an introduction to rugby skills such as passing and kicking, while also providing players and parents an opportunity to ask club members about the sport and programs offered at the club.
Participants are asked to wear comfortable active wear, dress for the weather (the forecast is looking good!), wear sneakers and bring cleats if you have them (events will be indoors and outdoors), and bring a water bottle and snack.
Pre-registration isn’t required – you can just show up and play – but there is sign-up link that will help the club know how many players to expect.
The club is located at 1910 Glenaire Drive in West Vancouver. More information is available on the BC Rugby website.
