Indoor Training Begins

In addition to the fitness training happening at the YMCA on Rochdale on Tuesday and Thursday nights, we invite any interested players of any skill level to join us for our preseason training. No experience is necessary, but experienced players will not be bored. We shake the rust off pretty quick through a lot of fun and intense drills.

Rugby shorts are a good idea, but gym shorts are fine. Runners should be non-marking (it is a basketball court).

PLEASE NOTE: PRACTICE THIS SUNDAY IS AT THE YMCA North.

Regular Sunday practices will take place in the U of R Main Gym as outlined below.

Indoor Practice this Sunday April 10. 11:30am - 1:00pm. YMCA North on Rochdale Ave. Guest coach Jim Sinclair (not Scottish Jim) will be running some drills for us.
Jim Sinclair served with the Canadian Armed forces for more than a decade, with multiple tours - including Afghanistan, Bosnia, and Croatia. He is bringing his unique team building skills to help us get in shape as a unit both mentally and physically.
